Answer: D is correct, 52.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

% decrease from 340 to 160, Where 340 is the old number and 160 is the new number

Percent change = (New number - Old number) / Old number x 100%

Percent change

= (160 - 340) / 340 x 100

= (-180) / 340x 100 = -52.94%

I hope this is clear, please mark as brainliest answer.

Then multiply both sides by 6/5 and you get $k = \frac{4}{5}$

Well, the first ballon appears to be halfway to the second (the second being 300 meters from the ground) so the first, being at approximately 150 meters, both away from the ground and the balloon, would have to travel a further 150 meters.
