Ok so the wording is confusing
is it
A. 3 friends took 1 slice each (total is 3 slice) or
B. 3 friends took 1 slice total
if A, go to AAAAAA
if B. to to BBBBB
AAAAAAAAAA
3 slices taken
fraction is parts out of whole
what is left
left=original-taken
taken=3
original=8
8-3=5
5=left
fraction is 5/total=5/8
BBBBBB
taken=1
fraction is parts out of whole
what is left
left=original-taken
taken=1
original=8
8-1=7
7=left
fraction is 7/total=7/8
if 3 slices taken total then 5/8 left
if 1 slice taken totl then 7/8 left
D) 65% decrease.
I worked it out by: 268 mill - 94 mill (calculating the difference in money)
then divided that by the original 268 mill, to finally get 0.64925....
And since the money is decreasing, it is a 65% decrease.
Hope this helps, and I think it should be right - but maybe double check in case :)
ANSWER
EXPLANATION
The given expression is
This is the same as:
In index notation, we write this as
To write this as a negative index, we use the property:
This implies that;
48/60 = .8
This means 80% of 60 is equal to 48.
Thus, a0% = 80%
and we can determine that a = 8.
Your answer is going to y = lx + 4l + 2
