Answer: the answer is 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
you take 12, divide it by 3 to get 4, then you add 3 to get 7.
Let Bea = x
Therefore Andrew = x + 2
Chris = x - 3
Andrew * Chris = 66
(x + 2)(x - 3) = 66 Remove the brackets.
x^2 + 2x - 3x - 6 = 66
x^2 - x - 6 = 66 Subtract 66 from both sides.
x^2 - x - 72 = 0
(x - 9)(x + 8) = 0
Find the possible values of Bea's age
x - 9 = 0
x = 9 That value works. She can be plus 9 years old.
x + 8 = 0
x = - 8. There's no way she can be - 8 years old
So Bea is 9.
9 <<<<<< Answer
First, subtract 63 from 75 to find out how much it decreased.
75 - 63 = 12
Divide 12 by 75.
12 / 75 = 0.16
In percents, that is 16%.
He spent 16% less this month.
Hope this helps!
