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))

Use the distributive property to expand the following expression<br><br> (9m-6)7<br><br> please help
Drupady [299]

Answer:2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

(9m + -6) * 7 = 0

Reorder the terms:

(-6 + 9m) * 7 = 0

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:

7(-6 + 9m) = 0

(-6 * 7 + 9m * 7) = 0

(-42 + 63m) = 0

Solving

-42 + 63m = 0

Solving for variable 'm'.

Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '42' to each side of the equation.

-42 + 42 + 63m = 0 + 42

Combine like terms: -42 + 42 = 0

0 + 63m = 0 + 42

63m = 0 + 42

Combine like terms: 0 + 42 = 42

63m = 42

Divide each side by '63'.

m = 0.6666666667

Simplifying

m = 0.6666666667=2/3 when simplified
