0.33 = 33/100.
It cannot be reduced after that.
Answer:
The numbers are 23 and 7
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Set up the equations
Let x = the greater number
and y = the smaller number. Then
(1) x - y = 16
4y = 4 times the smaller number and
4y - 5 = 5 less than 4 times the smaller number. Then
(2) x = 4y - 5
You have a system of two equations:

2. Solve the equations

The larger number is 23; the smaller number is 7.
3. Check

OK.
You could just factor out the Trinomial and find the zeros of the equation,
x^2 - 2x -15 = (x - 5)(x + 3) = 0,
x - 5 = 0 and x + 3 = 0, so x = 5,-3 AKA answer choice C
The answer to this question is false
15% of 80 is 12.
To check this, you can multiply 80 x 0.15, which gives you an answer of 12.
