<span>If a quantity increases by 25% and then decreases by 25%, will that result be the original quantity? Explain.
Let’s try to be able to know the answer:
=> Let’s have 10 as the value
Increase by 25%
=> 10 + 25%
=> 10 * .25 =  2.5
=> 10 + 2.5 = 12.5 the new value
Now, decrease this by 25%
=> 12.5 – 25%
=> 12.5 * .25 = 3.125
=> 12.5 – 3.125 = 9.375 or 9.4
Thus, the given statement is false.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

k = 575

Step-by-step explanation:

let d be distance and h time.

Given d varies directly as h then the equation relating them is

d = kh ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition d = 2875, h = 5, then

2875 = 5k ( divide both sides by 5 )

k = 575

Three times a larger number is 30 more than 5 times a smaller number. The sum of the larger number and 5 times the smaller numbe
slava [35]
3y  = 5x + 30

y + 5x = 50 .......(1)

3y - 5x = 30 .....(2)        - rearranging the first equation.

Add (1) and (2):-

4y = 80

y = 20  
Now plug y = 20 into equation (1):-
20 + 5x = 50
5x = 30 
x = 6

The 2 numbers are 6 and 20.

g(3)=6 * (3) = 18

f(3)= 4-2(3) = 4 - 6 = -2

So

(g-f)(3) = 18 - (-2) = 20
