Well to solve this, lets plug in some numbers. Lets assume that for now, the starting number is 2. If it increases by 100%, bringing it up to 4, then decreases 100%, it is brought down to zero. Now one thing to note is that any number decrease by 100% is automatically zero. Watch, we start with two, it is then increased by 150%, bringing it up to 5, then decreased by 100%, bringing it back down to zero. In conclusion, 100% cannot be specified as a value, but rather a relation. 100% represents the entire number, meaning that if you are decreasing a number by 100%, you are basically subtracting the number by itself!

A tree and a building stand side by side. The 5-foot tall tree cast a shadow of 12 feet. If the building is 80 feet tall, how lo
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The shadow of the building = 192 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ There is a proportional relation between the heights of the tree and the building and their shadows

∴ Height tree/height building = shadow tree/shadow building

\frac{5}{80}=\frac{12}{x}

x = \frac{(80)(12)}{5}= 192 ft ⇒ x is the length of the shadow of the building

The gas tank of your car is 40% full. There are 8 gallons of gas in the tank. What is the capacity of the gas tank?
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Percentage by which the gas tank of the car is full = 40%
Amount of gas in the gas tank = 8 gallons
Let us assume the capacity of the gas tank = x gallons
Then
40% * x = 8
(40/100) * x = 8
4x/10 = 8
4x = 8 * 10
4x = 80
x = 80/4
   = 20 gallons
So the total capacity of the gas tank of the car is 20 gallons. I hope the procedure is clear to you.

A new car is purchased for 22400 dollars. The value of the car depreciates at 11% per year. To the nearest tenth of a year , how
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

t= 12.9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Value after t years = initial value ( 1 - r )^t

Where,

Value after t years= $5000

Initial value = $22,400

r= depreciation rate = 11%

t= length of time (years)

Value after t years = initial value ( 1 - r )^t

5000 = 22,400 ( 1 - 0.11)^t

5000 = 22,400(0.89)^t

Divide both sides by 22,400

(0.89)^t = 5000 / 22,400

(0.89)^t = 0.2232

Take the log of both sides

t log 0.89 = log 0.2232

t= log 0.2232 / log 0.89

= -0.6513 / -0.0506

= 12.87

t= 12.9 years
