Answer:
Inequality
Step-by-step explanation:
There are an infinite number of quantities less than 6 (5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3...) so it is much easier to write an inequality
Answer: A. divided the difference of the two quantities by the sum of the two quantities.
===================================================
Explanation:
The difference of the quantities is 20-15 = 5
The sum of the quantities is 20+15 = 35
Dividing those results leads to 5/35 = 0.142857 which rounds to 0.1429
That converts to 14.29%
This is likely the path Adam took. This path is incorrect. The correct steps are shown below
---------------------
Difference = 20-15 = 5
Divide the difference over the original quantity
5/20 = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
We have a 25% decrease because the new quantity (15) is smaller than the old quantity (20)
----------------------
Here's another way to approach the problem
A = old value = 20
B = new value = 15
C = percent change
C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%
C = [ (15-20)/20 ] * 100%
C = (-5/20)*100%
C = -0.25*100%
C = -25%
The negative C value means we have a negative percent change, ie we have a percent decrease. So this is another way to get a 25% decrease.
Answer:
His sales that week were $2,160.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to subtract $324 from the amount he earned that week, to find the 5% he got from sales:
$432-$324=$108
Now, you know that he received $108 that represent 5% of his sales and you can use a rule of three to find the amount that represents 100% which would be his sales that week:
5% → 108
100% → x
x=(100*108)/5=2160
According to this, the answer is that his sales that week were $2,160.
