Answer:
37.5% decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
To find a relative percentage you generally follow the rule of part divided by whole.
$100 / $160 = .625 (62.5%)
So $100 is 62.5% of $160
To find the decrease we need to subtract 62.5% from 100%
100 - 62.5 = 37.5
Answer:
x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 1 + 4x - 11
First, you want to combine like terms.
We can see that the one and eleven can go together, so add them together.
2x + 4x - 12
The reason that we made one, and eleven, negative twelve, is because they are both being subtracted from the numbers before that.
6x - 12
We added the 2x, and the 4x together to make 6x.
Another way to write this would be x - 2, because you can simplify it by dividing it by 6.
-1 + 3(n-1)
hope this helps you
50*8=400
400+175=575
it subtracted 575 on the last round
You can set up a proportion to solve for the percentage of the coins that are pennies. Of course, there are alternate methods as well, but this is one method. First, you define the percentage of the coins that are pennies to be equal to a variable, such as x. Next, you write 240/600 = x/100, due to how "x" is the amount out of 100 (since per cent is for every cent (out of 100)), and 240 would correspond to x while 600 would correspond to 100. This proportion may also be written as 100/x = 600/240, or 240/x = 600/100. In order to solve for x, you use cross-products, or you multiply each denominator by the numerator of the other fraction. You will be left with a numerical value that's equal to a number times x, and then you divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x in order to isolate x. As a result, you will have the percentage of the coins that are pennies to be your answer. Remember to write the units for every numerator and denominator in your proportion.
