Answer:
45% decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for percent of decrease/ increase is
Original - change/ original
So 40 - 22 = 18
18/40 = 0.45
Turn 0.45 to percent by moving the decimal two spaces to the right
45%
You can check by multiplying the original number by the percentage. So,
40 x 0.45 = 18
Answer:
0.815
Step-by-step explanation:
just used a miles to minute convert caculator.
To determine the total time it needs for the two painters to completely paint the whole wall space, we need to relate the total area of the wall to be painted and the time they need. So, base from the problem, the relation would just be a linear function. We do as follows:
let A = total area of the wall space
t = total time they both need
Painter 1 = <span>190 square feet per hour
Painter 2 = </span><span>130 square feet per hour
total area = 1200 ft^2 (3) = 3600 ft^2
The function would be:
A = 190t + 130t
3600 = 190t + 130t
3600 = 320t
t = 11.25 hrs

</span>
