Girls never change number

make same
4:3 times 5 is 20:15
4:5 times 3=12:15

from 20:15 to 12:15
boys dropped 160

20-12=8

The doctor recommended that Mike increase the number of calories he burns working out from 1,500 to 1,800. By what percent did t
Viefleur [7K]

Answer: The number of calories increased by 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The doctor recommended that Mike increase the number of calories he burns working out from 1,500 to 1,800.

Previous number of calories he used to burn = 1,500

Increase in calories = 1800-1500=300

Now , the percent increase in calories = \dfrac{\text{Increase in calories}}{\text{previous calories}}\times100

=\dfrac{300}{1500}\times100=20\%

Hence , the number of calories increased by 20%.

akash's salary in 2014 was 25% more than that of 2013,then his previous salary was what % of present salary
marishachu [46]

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Focus on the important parts of the problem:

The present salary is 25% more than the previous salary.

previous = % of present ?

<u>Use a mock/fake situation.</u> Let' say the previous salary is $100.

100 = % of present

Present salary is $100 increased by 25%.

$100 X 1.25 = $125

100 = % of 125

Solve this in decimal form (convert it to a percentage later).

Let x be the percentage in decimal form.

100 = 125x

100/125 = x    Isolate "x" by dividing by sides by 125

x = 0.80

Convert 0.80 to percentage by multiplying by 100.

0.80 X 100 = 80%

When comparing two things using percentage, 100% is the same. Less than 100% is less and more than 100% is more.

Since his previous salary was less than his present salary, this answer makes sense.

Therefore his previous salary was 80% of his present salary.
