Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
What we can do is try it out.
20*0.6=12
since 0.6 is left
now we increase 12 by 40, or multiply it by 1.4
12*1.4= 16.8
See what is happening here is that at first when we are decreasing it by 40 percent, we are taking 40 percent of 20. However, when we increase that amount by 40 percent, we are now increasing 40 percent of 20 by 40 percent, or increasing 16 by 40 percent. Therefore, we will not get the original amount.
The correct answer is 15.
Answer:
1.78
Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x we need to cross multiply it
We have = sign inbetween the fractions so we cross multiply it
9*x = 2* 8
9x = 16
Now we divide by 9 on both sides

so x= 1.7777777778
When we round to two decimal places then
x= 1.78
