A 75% increase followed by a 50% decrease​

Mathematics
1 answer:
stiv31 [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

12.5% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the initial value

75% increase is 175% of X

= 1.75X

50% decrease = 0.5

0.5(1.75X)

0.875X (less than X, so decrease)

87.5% of X

100 - 87.5 = 12.5% decrease

NEED HELP ASAP ON THIS QUESTION
viktelen [127]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{BC}{EF} , substitute values

\frac{x}{6} = \frac{8}{4} ( cross- multiply )

4x = 48 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 12
