Answer:
The initial value of 600 is larger and larger by 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all a 20% decreased of 600.
So, the new value will be 
.
Now, then it is increased by 20% i.e. 480 will be increased by 20%.
So, the new value will be 
.
Therefore, the initial value of 600 is larger and larger by (600 - 576) = 24. (Answer)
Answer: 9
Step-by-step explanation:
An elf ate 15 of your muffins and that was 5/8 of all of them. To get the number of muffins left goes thus:
We can first calculate the total number of muffins the person had. Let the total number of muffins be y. That means the elf ate 5/8 of y.
5/8 of y = 15
5/8 × y = 15
0.625 × y = 15
0.625y = 15
Divide both side by 0.625
0.625y/0.625 = 15/0.625
y = 24
The total amount of muffins is 24. Since the elf has eaten 15, the amount left will be: 24-15 = 9
Answer:
-4 +4 =0
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of a number and its' additive inverse is 0
The additive inverse of -4 is 4
-4 +4 =0
1. A. 550 meters.
this is because 2.5 km = 2500 meters, since there are 1000 meters in one kilometer.
therefore, 2500 - 1950 = 550 meters.
2. B. 126 inches.
this is because there are 12 inches in one foot, so we multiply 12 by 10 since there are 10 full feet. this leaves us with 120. then, we add half a foot, which is 6 inches. therefore, it is 126 :)
