<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>

What is four hundred twenty times six
lianna [129]
To do this without a calculator, it may be easier to break the number into smaller parts.
420 * 6
= (400 * 6) + (20 * 6)
= 2400 + 120
= 2520

Hope this helps! :)

What is the value of X?
bearhunter [10]
Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:

Let's first establish that the shape is a triangle meaning that the following formula is applicable as displayed below:

Angle sum of a triangle = 180°

As well as this, the shape is an equilateral triangle meaning that each angle of the triangle is equivalent in value. Also, the following formula is also applicable as displayed below:

Each angle of an equilateral triangle = the same value

Therefore:

Each angle of an equilateral triangle = angle sum of a triangle ÷ no. of angles in a triangle = 180° ÷ 3 = 60°

Based on this, the following is applicable:

2x - 4 = 60°

2x = 60 + 4

2x = 64

x = 64 / 2

x = 32°

ANSWER:

Therefore, the answer is:

The value of ( x ) is 32°

A and b are positive integers and a–b = 3. Evaluate the following:
yulyashka [42]

1/27

1/27

125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

a - b = 3

9^(1/2b) /3^a = 3^(2/2b) /3^a

= 3^b/3^a

= 3^(b-a)

= 3^(-3)

= 27^(-1)

= 1/27

27^(1/3b) /9^(1/2a) = 3^(3/3b) /3^(2/2a)

= 3^b/3^a

= 3^(b-a)

= 3^(-3)

= 27^(-1)

= 1/27

125^(1/3a) /25^(1/2b) = 5^(3/3a) /5^(2/2b)

= 5^a/5^b

= 5^(a- b)

= 5^3

= 125
