If increasing 15 by n% is equivalent to decreasing 75 by n%, then what is 6% of n?

1 answer:

4 0

15(1 + n/100) = 75(1 - n/100)
15 + 0.15n = 75 - 0.75n
0.15n + 0.75n = 75 - 15
0.9n = 60
n = 60/0.9 = 66 2/3%

6% of n = 0.06 x 66 2/3 = 4

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cover page

We are given that a newspaper 's cover page is $\frac{3}{8}$ text and photograph fill the rest.

We have to find that how much part of cover's page is the article about endangered species

Text = $\frac{3}{8}x$

Remaining part = $x-\frac{3}{8} x$

Remaining part = $\frac{8x-3x}{8}=\frac{5}{8} x$

Therefore, a newspaper;s cover page fill with Photograph = $\frac{5}{8}$

If the article about endangered species= $\frac{2}{5}$ of text

Therefore, the article about endangered species= $\frac{2}{5}\times\frac{3x}{8}=\frac{3}{20}x$

Hence, the article about endangered species is $\frac{3}{20}$ of the cover page.
