Answer:
40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = numerator
Let y = denominator
Decreased by 30% = 100% - 30% = 70% = 70/100 = 0.7
Decreased by 50% = 100% - 50% = 50% = 50/100 = 0.5
1.4 as a percentage = 1.4 x 100 = 140%
Therefore, the percentage increase is 140 - 100 = 40%
Answer:
The remainder is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
12 Divided by 7 equals 12 over 7 or 1.714285. 7 can only go into 12, one time. if we subtract 7 from 12 we get 5 which is the remainder. There is no way it can be 2 because 7 plus 2 equals 9. 1 x 7 + 5 equals 12 which isn't 1.714285. 2 x 7 + 4 equals 18 which also isn't 1.714285. Same with 2 x 5 + 5. That equals 15 which isn't 1.714285.
Sometimes because the answer be be a positive, and the opposite would be a negative which is less. But for a negative, it is always greater. So the answer is sometimes will be greater than the number itself.
