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>

This bread recipe can be used for 6 people. How much sugar will be needed to make bread for 18 people? The amount of sugar is 15
koban [17]

Answer:

450 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create a proportion using the following setup:

sugar/people = sugar/people

We know that 150 g of sugar can serve 6 people.

150 g/ 6 people = sugar/people

We don't know how much sugar can serve 18 people. So, we can say x can serve 18 people.

150 g/ 6 people = x g/ 18people

150/6=x/18

We want to find x, so we need to get x by itself. x is being divided by 18. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the equation by 18.

18*(150/6)=(x/18)*18

18*150/6=x

18*25=x

450=x

x= 450 g

450 g of sugar is needed to make bread for 18 people.
