If you need an equation it is -3.4x=21.5
You simply divide both sides by -3.4 to get x=-6.32
if that's not right then just get on a calculator and calculate by doing what I said to divide
!5% is equivalent to 15 parts over the whole 100 part. It is written in proportions as 15/100.
Similarly, you need to find how many parts in 80 are equivalent to 15%or 15/100. So, just equate both equation with x as an unknown.
x/80 = 15/100
x = (15/100)*80
x = 12
Thus, the 15% of 80 is 12.
The answer is $116.18. 135 is 116.2% of the previous year.
