Percent formula : is/of = %/100
is = 12
of = 60
% = x
now we sub
12/60 = x/100
cross multiply
(60)(x) = (12)(100)
60x = 1200
x = 1200/60
x = 20
check..
0.20(60) = 12
12 = 12 (correct)
so 20% of 60 is 12
<span>Answer:
The multiplication factor of increase should be inverse of the multiplication factor of decrease.
e.g. Say you have a number 100.
You increase it by 25%. The multiplication factor is 5/4 i.e. when you multiply 100 by 5/4, you get 100*5/4 = 125. This is 25% more than 100.
Now you want to decrease it by a certain % such that you get 100 back.
Basically, 100*5/4 * x = 100
So x = 4/5 (inverse of 5/4)
Hence, you decrease by 20% (the multiplication factor of 20% is 4/5)
or
Use this formula: cumulative % change = a + b + ab/100
You want the cumulative change to be 0.
a + b + ab/100 = 0
If you know that you are increasing by 25% and want to find the % by which you should decrease to get the same number,
25 + b + 25b/100 = 0
5b/4 = -25
b = -20
So you need to decrease (hence you get the -ve sign) by 20%.</span>
It would be tricky to determine the number of words since there could be different usage of margins, font sizes and font styles.
However, based on an study by an institution, a 2-3 pages essay contains approximately 750 words in general.
The statement is true if you're going to use Arial 12, double spacing with 1 inch margin on a word document.
X= 16.
All you have to do is isolate x to one side.
To do this, subtract 10 from 26.
26-10=16
5,000+400+80+4+.3+.06+.006
