<span>Answer:
The multiplication factor of increase should be inverse of the multiplication factor of decrease.
e.g. Say you have a number 100.
You increase it by 25%. The multiplication factor is 5/4 i.e. when you multiply 100 by 5/4, you get 100*5/4 = 125. This is 25% more than 100.
Now you want to decrease it by a certain % such that you get 100 back.
Basically, 100*5/4 * x = 100
So x = 4/5 (inverse of 5/4)
Hence, you decrease by 20% (the multiplication factor of 20% is 4/5)
or
Use this formula: cumulative % change = a + b + ab/100
You want the cumulative change to be 0.
a + b + ab/100 = 0
If you know that you are increasing by 25% and want to find the % by which you should decrease to get the same number,
25 + b + 25b/100 = 0
5b/4 = -25
b = -20
So you need to decrease (hence you get the -ve sign) by 20%.</span>
Step-by-step explanation:
I guess, the flower bed is a true rectangle, right ?
so, then, the perimeter of that rectangle is
2×length + 2×width = 2×78 + 2×60 = 156 + 120 = 276 in.
1 ft = 12 in
276 in = 23 ft
she can only buy a bundle of 40 ft.
that means she will have
40 - 23 = 17 ft left.

Answer:
11/24
Step-by-step explanation:
7/8 + 11/12 + 3/4 + x = 3 km
7*3/8*3 = 21 / 24
11*2 / 12 * 2 = 22 /24
3*6 / 4*6 = 18/24
21/24 + 22/24 + 18/24 + x = 3
61 / 24 + x = 3
x = 72/24 - 61/24
x = 11 / 24
