When a number is decreased by 20% of itself, the result is 128. what is the number?

1 answer:

4 0

The number was 160 because 5/4•128=160. 5/4 represents inverting 80% and multiplying it by the number to determine how the result became 128. For checking over all you have to do is do 4/5 or 80%•160 which shall give you 128.

Answer:

13/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the LCD of 8 and 3, which is 24.

Now, multiply both numerators so that the following fractions would be equal:

7/8 = x/24

1/3 = y/24

Our result is that

7/8=21/24

1/3 = 8/24

21/24 - 8/24 = 13/24
