first you will need to divide 85 by 100

85÷100=0.85

Then divide 68 by 0.85

68÷0.85=80

80 is what percentage $68 is of $85

So what you left with is a 20% discount

[(68-85) divided by 85] x 100%
= -20%
=decreased 20%

krok68 [10]

This is the concept of differential equations, given that
dp/dt=rp
then:
dp/p=rdt
thus:
ln p=rt+C
p=e^(rt+C)
P=Ke^(rt)
when t=210 days=7 months, p=2k
2k=k×e^(7r)
2=e^(7r)
ln2=7r
r=ln(2)/7
r=0.0990

13-5m=4-6m show work please

Vesna [10]

First subtract 4 from both sides
$13 - 4 - 5m = - 6m$

then simplify
$9 - 5m = - 6m$

add -5 to both sides
$9 = - m$

since a variable shouldn't be negative the answer should be
$m = - 9$

(I prefer having the variable on the left side)
