65 % ------------------ 23.4 items
100 % ----------------- x items
65 : 100 = 23.4 : x
65 x = 100 * 23.4
65 x = 2340
x = 2340 : 65
x = 36
Answer: there were 36 items on the test.
Because it's decreasing, you use the formula (1-x/100)y with x the percentage decreased which is here 40, and y the number decreased which is here 90
So we get
(1-40/100) * 90
(100/100 - 40/100) * 90
60/100 * 90
5400/100
54
So 90 decreased by 40% is 54
Hope this Helps :)
Answer: y = 4 and x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
when y is 2, x is 0.5
when y is 4, x is 1
.(+ 2) .(+ 0.5)
.(+ 2) .(+ 0.5)
.(+ 2) .(+ 0.5)
.(+ 2) .(+ 0.5)
the rule is that y is 4 times larger than x
