To decrease an amount by 85% what single multiplier would i need to use?

1 answer:

7 0

You are asking about what number must you multiply another random number by to make that random number decrease by 85% of that random number, right?

If the above is correct, then the number is 0.15
because 100% - 85% = 15% and 15% = 15 / 100
= 0.15

timama [110]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{6}\ of\ the \ test$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Landon finished 1/2 of the test in 3/5 of an hour

by proportion

Find out how much of the test will he have done in one hour

$\frac{(1/2)}{(3/5)}\frac{test}{hours} =\frac{x}{1}\frac{test}{hour}\\ \\x=(1/2)*(5/3)\\ \\x=\frac{5}{6}\ of\ the \ test$

Julio tested the point (4, –2) to see whether it is a solution to this system of equations. –3x – 2y = –8, y = 2x – 5 His work i

kolezko [41]

if it is solution point (4, –2) must satisfy both equations
(1) –3x – 2y = –8-->-3*4-2*(-2)=-8
-12+4=-8 then-->-8=-8 ok
(2) y = 2x – 5
-2=2*4-5=3---------->-2 is not 3

the point (4, –2) is not solution of the system of equations
