$30, because basically, it's -100, +100, -30.
<u>biomass can be converted directly into liquid fuels, called "biofuels," to help meet transportation fuel needs. The two most common types of biofuels in use today are ethanol and biodiesel, both of which represent the first generation of biofuel technology.</u>
Because the sofa usually sells for $800, we know that's 100% of the price.
100% = $800
Let's find 1%.
1% = $800/100
1% = $8
Next, multiply $8 by 75 to find the percent of the sofas price when it's $600.
75% = $600
We now know that $600 is 75% of the sofas original price.
100% - 75% = 25%
The percent of decrease I'm the sofas sale price is 25%.
Hope I got that right, the question was worded a little strangley so I wasn't quite sure what you were asking :)
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3(x - 10) = - 4
1/3x - 10/3 = - 4
1/3x = -4 + 10/3
1/3x = -2/3
x = -2/3 · 3
x = -2
