We can automatically see that we are dealing with a percent decrease because we are going from a smaller to a bigger number. We need to first find what percent of 140the number 84 is. to do this we can set up the following equation:

140/84=100/x (this equation is basically saying if 140 is 100(%) what would 84 be?)

solving for x here gives us x = (84 X 100)/140 = 60, so 84 is 60 percent of 140 which means 140 decreased by 40 percent.

Let me know if I can clear anything else up.

Which of the following is the contrapositive of the following statement: If it is past 5:00 p.m., Megan’s office building is not
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A contrapositive statement is one that switches the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement and negates both. In our hypothesis,

"If it is past 5:00 p.m., Megan’s office building is not empty", we shall break it into two statements and show the contarpositive of each like shown below.

Hypothesis                                             Contrapositive

Megan’s office building is not empty- Megan’s office building is empty

It is past 5:00 p.m  - it is not past 5:00 p.m

And thus the contrapositive statement becomes

If Megan’s office building is empty, then it is not past 5:00 p.m.
