Answer:

  • 48 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age be xy or 10x + y.

Reverse the two digits of my age, divide by three, add 20, and the result is my age, convert this to equation:

  • (10y + x)/3 + 20 = 10x + y
  • (10y + x)/3 = 10x + y - 20
  • 10y + x = 3(10x + y - 20)
  • 10y + x = 30x + 3y - 60
  • 30x - x + 3y - 10y = 60
  • 29x - 7y = 60

We should consider both x and y are between 1 and 9 since both the age and its reverse are 2-digit numbers.

Possible options for x are:

  • 29x ≥ 7*1 + 60 = 67 ⇒ x > 2, at minimum value of y,

and

  • 29x ≤ 7*9 + 60 = 123 ⇒ x < 5, at maximum value of y.

So x can be 3 or 4.

<h3>If x = 3</h3>

  • 29*3 - 7y = 60
  • 87 - 7y = 60
  • 7y = 27
  • y = 27/7, discarded as fraction.

<h3>If x = 4</h3>

  • 29*4 - 7y = 60
  • 116 - 7y = 60
  • 7y = 56
  • y = 8

So the age is 48.

A % is out of a hundred, so you don't need the %/100. Then, you wouldn't do cross multiplication, you would just divide 15/27. Remember, it would be 15/27  because it's percent markup, not the percent the price increased by. So, doing that simple calculation on a calculator you get 0.5555. This converted to a percent is just moving the decimal to the right twice, or multiplied by a 100. That would give you 55.55%, and that's your answer. Make sense?

Find each percent of change. Round yo the nearest whole percent if necessary. <br><br> 55 to 35
Reptile [31]
So subtract 55 from 35

35 - 55 = -20

then, put -20 over 55

-20/55 equals -0.36 repeating, rounded to -0.36, which equals 36%

the negative stands for decrease, so it's around 36% decrease
