For this case we can use the following rule of three:
 $ 500 ---------> 100%
 $ 400 ---------> x
 Clearing x we have:
 x = (400/500) * (100) = 80%
 Therefore, the percentage of decrease in the rent is:
 p = 100-x
 p = 100-80
 p = 80%
 Answer:
 
a proportion can be used to calculate p is:
 
p = 100 - ((400/500) * (100))

Divide. Show your work.<br><br> (6x^4-5x^3+6x^2)/2x^2
serg [7]
We can do like we did before, distribute the denominator,

\bf \cfrac{6x^4-5x^3+6x^2}{2x^2}\implies \cfrac{6x^4}{2x^2}-\cfrac{5x^3}{2x^2}+\cfrac{6x^2}{2x^2}\implies \cfrac{6}{2}\cdot \cfrac{x^4}{x^2}-\cfrac{5}{2}\cdot \cfrac{x^3}{x^2}+\cfrac{6}{2}\cdot \cfrac{x^2}{x^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;3 x^4x^{-2}-\cfrac{5}{2}x^3x^{-2}+3x^2x^{-2}\implies 3x^{4-2}-\cfrac{5}{2}x^{3-2}+3x^{2-2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;3x^2-\cfrac{5}{2}x+3x^0\implies 3x^2-\cfrac{5}{2}x+3

At a university, 60​% of the students who apply. Of the students the university​ accepts, 25% actually enroll If 2000 students​
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

300 students are enrolled.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the university accepts 60% of the students who apply.

As 2000 students apply, it means that:

2000 × 60% ⇒ 2000 × 0.6 = 1200 students are accepted

Out of these 1200, 25% enrolled

1200 × 25% ⇒ 1200 × 0.25 = 300 students are enrolled

Therefore, 300 students are enrolled.

Solve each equation.
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

13x+9=30

13x=30+9

13x=39

divide both sides by 13

x=3

12x+1=-13

12x=-13-1

12x=-14

divide both sides by 12

x=7/6

x+2+4=11

x+6=11

x=11_6

x=5
