Answer:
4a. 13
4b. -4
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-6/5 = 4 (Muti each side by 5)
2x-6 = 20
2x = 26 (Divide each side by 2)
x = 13
7- 2x/4 = 9
-2x/4 = 2 (Muti each side by 4)
-2x = 8 (Divide each side by -2)
x = -4
Answer:
156.25% =P
Step-by-step explanation:
Is means equals and of means multiply
50 = P * 32
Divide each side by 32
50/32 = 32P/32
1.5625= P
Now we need to change it to percent form by multiplying by 100%
1.5625 * 100% = P
156.25% =P
Let's say the item starts off at $100.
A 55% decrease means 100%-55% = 45% of the value is still there. The item is now worth 0.45*100 = 45 dollars.
Now increase this by 25%. The long way to do this is to add 25% of 45 onto 45
(25% of 45) + (45) = 0.25*45+45 = 11.25+45 = 56.25
Or, we can multiply 45 by 1.25 since the multiplier 1.25 represents a 25% increase
1.25*45 = 56.25
-----------------------------------------------------
The item was $100, it drops to $45 after the 55% decrease, then it is $56.25 after the 25% increase.
Let's compute the percent difference
A = 100 = old value
B = 56.25 = new value
C = percent difference
C = 100*(B-A)/A
C = 100*(56.25-100)/100
C = -43.75%
The negative C value indicates a percent decrease.
So combining a 55% decrease and a 25% increase leads to an overall decrease of 43.75%
-----------------------------------------------------
A shortcut is to multiply 0.45 and 1.25 to get 0.5625
Then subtract this from 1 to get 1-0.5625 = 0.4375
This is another way to see we have a 43.75% decrease.
Answer:
9,948,394.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the other races is 4% of the total population. So we calculate 4/100 * 248,709,873=9,948,394.92. If you can't have a fractional amount of people is would be 9,948,394.
