What is the percent of decrease from 110 to 77

1 answer:

8 0

If you want to easily find the solution you can use your calculator.
Just divide 77 by 110 and see the result.
77/110 = 0.7 = 7/10 = 70/100 = 70%
100% - 70% = 30%

Explanation
110*x=77
x=77/110, but the answer is not a percent
So 77/110 = ?/100 => ?=77*100/110=70 => 70%
But since 70% does not represent a percentage decreasement, we need to subtract it from the 100%
100% - 70% = 30%

Vika [28.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the readable scores are:

100, 82, 95, __ , 90, 81, 75, 83, __

We know the mean (or average) is 85, so:

85 = (100 + 82 + 95 + x + 90 + 81 + 75 + 83 + y) / 9

765 = 606 + x + y

159 = x + y

We know the lowest score is 75, so x and y must be at least 76. Possible answers are:

76 and 83

77 and 82

78 and 81

79 and 80

80 and 79

81 and 78

82 and 77
