Let x be the number.
x-x²=2/9, so 9x-9x²=2 or 9x²-9x+2=0=(3x-2)(3x-1). Therefore x=2/3 or 1/3.
Check: 2/3-4/9=6/9-4/9=2/9 and 1/3-1/9=3/9-1/9=2/9.

The table gives the average age of airplanes per airline at Camila’s local airport. By what percent is the number of airlines wi
VladimirAG [237]

The percentage that the number of airlines with an average airplane age of 14 is less than the number of airlines with an average airplane age of 11 is:

B. 20%.

<h3>What is a percentage?</h3>

The percentage of an amount a over a total amount b is given by a multiplied by 100% and divided by b, that is:

P = \frac{a}{b} \times 100\%

The percentage of airlines with an average age of 14 years is:

P = \frac{2}{15} \times 100\% = 13.33\%

The percentage of airlines with an average age of 11 years is:

P = \frac{5}{15} \times 100\% = 33.33\%

The difference is:

33.33% - 13.33% = 20%.

Hence option B is correct.
