For this case we can use the following rule of three:
$ 500 ---------> 100%
$ 400 ---------> x
Clearing x we have:
x = (400/500) * (100) = 80%
Therefore, the percentage of decrease in the rent is:
p = 100-x
p = 100-80
p = 80%
Answer:
a proportion can be used to calculate p is:
p = 100 - ((400/500) * (100))
Follow these steps:
-8.4b - 4.2 = 12.6
Add 4.2 on both sides:
-8.4b = 16.8
Divide by -8.4 on both sides to give you the final answer of:
b = -2
So you're answer is indeed correct! Hope this helps and that the steps are clear enough!
