Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we are decreasing the number so it has to be a decrease.
Next, we divide 7/31 and get around 0.23, which also represents 23 percent.
This only shows that 7 is 23 percent of 31, so we need to find the decrease by seeing the difference of 100 and 23.
We get 100 - 23 = 77, and because it is a decrease we get B.
Example:
The sum of two consecutive integers is -15. What is the product of the two integers?
x = 1st consecutive integer
x + 1 = 2nd consecutive integer {consecutive integers increase by 1}
x + x + 1 = -15 {the sum of two consecutive integers is -15}
2x + 1 = -15 {combined like terms}
2x = -16 {subtracted 1 from each side}
x = -8 {divided each side by 2}
x + 1 = -7 {substituted -8, in for x, into x + 1}
-8 and -7 are the two consecutive integers
Their product is 56.
An = a1 + (n-1) * d
a12 = 47 + (12 - 1) * -5
a12 = 47 + 11 * -5
a12 = 47 - 55
a12 = - 8 <==
