Answer:
33 1/3 percent smaller
Step-by-step explanation:
The number a exceeds the number b by 50 percent.
a = b + b*.5
a = b(1.5)
Divide by 1.5
a/1.5 = b
2/3a =b
We want to find (a-b)/a to find the percent decrease
(a-2/3a)/a *100percent
(1/3a)/a* 100 percent
1/3 * 100 percent
33 1/3 percent smaller
Answer:
B) Isolate the variable through inverse operations
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to get the value of y, we need to get y by itself. Since y is being multiplied by the coefficient 7, dividing both sides by 7 gets us y=10, so B is the right choice.
