Answer:

33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage was a decrease.

Let the percent be x.

60 × (1 - x%) = 40

60 × (1 - x/100) = 40

1 - x/100 = 40/60

-x/100 = 40/60 - 1

-x/100 = -1/3

x/100 = 1/3

x = 33.33333

If 2/3(x-6)-3/4x=3 , then x= ?

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The value of x for the given expression is - 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression as :

$\frac{2}{3}$ (x - 6) - $\frac{3}{4}$ x = 3

Taking LCM of 3 & 4

So, $\frac{8\times (x-6) - 9x}{12}$ = 3

or, 8 x - 48 - 9 x = 12 × 3

Or, 8 x - 9 x = 36 + 48

or, - x = 84

∴ x = - 84

Hence The value of x for the given expression is - 84 Answer
