Answer:

<u>40</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the Rule of Three Simple to answer the question this way:

Stock price    Percentage

$ 15                    100%

$ 9                       x

15 * x = 9 * 100

15x = 900

x = 900/15

x = 60

Percentage decreased = 100 - 60

Percentage decreased = 40

<u>The company's stock decreased 40 percent</u>

Find each percent increase round to the nearest percent from 86 books to 150 books
Stels [109]
From 86 books to 150 books. An increase of 64 books.

(150 - 86) / 86 = 64 / 86 = 0.744 * 100% = 74.40% or 74% increase

150 / 86 = 1.744 * 100% = 174.40%

86 is the basis. It is 100%

If the problem asks for the value of the percentage increase and the rate is given 74.4% of 86. Then 86 * 74.4% = 64. You just add 64 to 86 to get the new total of books which is 150.

Answer:

40x30= 1200, 20x15=300, 300/1200= 1/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can also visualize it. Imagine a field 40’ long and the boy cut the top 20’ of it but left 20’ of the bottom, he would have cut half of it at this point. Now it’s 30’ wide and he cut the left 15’ of what’s remaining but left the right 15’ uncut. So now there’s a 20’x15’ bottom right corner left uncut. There are 4 sections that are 20’x15’ and he left one out of four uncut, otherwise written as 1/4.
