Thud, your answer.
A ratio of 3:2.
The easiest way to go about this is to divide the actual number of wins (18) by its corresponding element in the ratio.
So:
This means every element on the ratio has a value of 6.
The amount of element in the ratio that correspond to losses is 2.
Multiply the actual amount of matches per element in the ratio by the number of elements that represents the losses in the ratio.
Your answer:
<em>"The team lost 12 games."</em>
4 - 9x = -14
4 - 4 - 9x = -14 - 4
9/9x = -18/9
x = -2
The formula to figure out the percentage increase or decrease is:
<span>(new - old) / old * 100% </span>
<span>new = 60 </span>
<span>old = 72 </span>
<span>(60 - 72) / 72 * 100% </span>
<span>-12 / 72 * 100% </span>
<span>= -1/6 * 100% </span>
<span>= -0.1666... * 100% </span>
<span>≈ -16.667% </span>
<span>Because it is negative, that's a decrease. </span>
<span>Answer: </span>
<span>A decrease of about 16.7%</span>
30% of 22.40 is 6.72. 6.72 plus 22.40 is 29.12. Therefore the answer is 29.12.
