How to calculate percentages:

First, work out the difference between (increase) the two numbers you're comparing.

*Increase = New number - Original number*

Then, divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

*% increase = Increase divided by the Original number times 100.*

If your answer is a negative number than it is a percentage decrease. (You'd pretty much have to do the same thing that you do for the percentage increase except you'd get a positive number.)

Say you're trying to figure out what percentage 3 is of 15.

3/15 = x/100

You would cross multiply so..

3(100) = 15x

Then simplify.

300 = 15x

300/15 = 15x/15

20 = x

Therefore, 3 is 20% of 15.

Find the midpoint of the segment that has endpoints at<br> (a+b, a-b) and (a, b).
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

((2a+b)/2 , a/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint is the mean/average of both the x and y values.

Our x values are a+b and a

Our y values are a-b and b

The midpoint x value is (a+b + a ) /2 = (2a + b)/2

The midpoint y value is (a-b + b) /2 = (a)/2

The midpoint combines these two values to get ((2a+b)/2 , a/2) as our midpoint
