Answers:
1. P=3
Step by step:
P-5=-2 -move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign
P=-2+5 - calculate the sum
P=3
2. W=-2.8
Step by step:
W+13.2=10.4 - move the constant tot he right hand side and change its sign
W=10.4-13.3 - calculate the difference
W=-2.8
3. X=2/3
Step by step:
X-5/6=-1/6 - move the constant to the rig hand side and change its sign
X=-1/6+5/6 - calculate the sum
X=2/3
Given:
yesterday = 270
today = 216
yesterday's number of tickets sold is the basis of the percent of change. So, 270 is the 100%.
270 - 216 = 54 * value of the change in ticket sales
54/270 = 0.20 x 100% = 20% * percent of change
There was a 20% decrease in ticket sales.
