The number is 90.

<h3>What is the number?</h3>

Percentage can be described as the fraction of an amount that is expressed as a number out of hundred. The sign used to represent percentage is %. Percentages are a measure of frequency.

When the number is decreased, the number becomes smaller. This means that the original number is larger than 81.

The equation that can be used to represent the information in the question is:

(1 - percentage decrease) initial number = 81

(1 - 0.1)x = 81

0.9x = 81

x = 81 / 0.9

x = 90

In the figure, find the value of x that makes a ∥ b. A. 50° B. 65° C. 75° D. 95°

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because alternate interior angles are congruent in parallel lines, the angle next to the 25° in the right triangle is 85 - 25 = 60° which makes the other angle in the right triangle 180 - 90 - 60 = 30°. Since they form a straight angle, we can write x + 30 + 85 = 180 → x + 115 = 180 → x = 65°.
