Why is 20 to 40 a 100% increase

Mathematics
1 answer:
Oksi-84 [34.3K]3 years ago
8 0

increasing 20 to 40 is the same as increasing 20 by 20 (or itself), so it is a 100% increase. Decreasing 40 to 20 is the same as decreasing 40 by 1/2 or by 20. So it is a 50% increase.

when going from 20 to 40, the number is being doubled, and when youre going from 40 to 20 you are cutting the number in half. 

hope this helped:)

For the given expression, which whole number (w) will make the expression true? 5/6
Sonja [21]

Answer:

D. 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is a possible complete question

For the given expression, which whole number (w) will make the expression true? 5/6 < w/6

A. 3

B. 4

C. 5

D. 7

Given the inequality expression:

5/6 < w/6

Cross multiply

5×6 < 6×w

30<6w

Divide both sides by 6

30/6 = 6w/6

5<w

Reciprocate both sides(this will change the sense of the inequality)

1/5>1/w

Cross multiply

w > 5×1

w>5

This shows that the value of w is a value greater than 5 but not 5. According to the option, the only value greater than 5 is 7. Hence the whole number (w) that will make the expression true is 7

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

<h3>285.15</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:
