Answer:
1.) 18 is decreasing by 83%
2.) 16 is decreasing by 12.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Part ÷ Whole = Percent (decimal form)
1.) First, you subtract the smaller number from the larger number: 18 - 3 = 15. Then you find the percent of the part: 15 ÷ 18 = 0.833333333333. This can be rounded to 0.83. Multiply 0.83 by 100 to get the percentage: 0.83 • 100 = 83%. To check your answer, multiply 0.83 by 18. It checks out. 18 is being <em>decreased</em> by 83%.
2.) Subtract 14 from 16 to get 2. Then divide 2 by 16: 2 ÷ 16 = 0.125. Multiply that by 100: 0.125 • 100 = 12.5%. To check this, we multiply 0.125 • 16 = 2. It works. So, 16 is being <em>decreased</em> by 2%.

Answer:
The ratio of candidate 2's votes to candidate 1's votes was 24:8
The ratio of candidate 1's votes to candidate 2's votes was 1:3
Step-by-step explanation:
Candidate 1's votes is 8000
Candidate 2's votes 24000
To get the ratio of candidate 2's votes to candidate 1's votes take 24000 : 8000 divide by 1000 both sides you get 24:8
To get the ratio of candidate 1's votes to candidate 2's votes take 8000 : 24000 divide 8000 both sides you get 1:3

I didn’t get the second question
The ratio of apple trees to orange trees would be 18:24.
You need to arrange the ratio in fraction form: 18:24 = 18/24
18/24 = 9/12 = 3/4
The ratio is 3:4
-4x + 9 = 28
-4x = 28 - 9
-4x = 19
x = -4.75
