No, it is not. If you see closely, the number 5.2 is not 52. 60 is greater than 5.2.
First, lets convert them into multipliers:
The multiplier for a:
25% increase = 1.25
40% decrease = 0.6
40% increase = 1.4
Now to work out the overall percentage change, we just times all of the multipliers together, and convert it back to a percentage:
1.25 x 0.6 x 1.4 = 1.05
So the overall multiplier is 1.05
And a multiplier of 1.05 = a <u>5% increase</u>.
That means that the percentage change is + 5%

Answer:
The answer is 30
Step-by-step explanation:
If you were to do 50% of 30, it would be 15 students that are girls. There's 18 students that are girls though, so the extra 10% would make 18 students in the class girls. The remaining 40% would be 12 boys. So basically you're taking 10% from one side and putting it in the other because 50% of 30 is 15 (well this is at least how I would do it, I don't know how others would do it though)
Answer:
179/180
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>Step One</u></em>
Find the prime factors of 18 and 20
18:3*3*2
20: 2 * 2 * 5
<em><u>Step Two</u></em>
You need two 2s two 3s and one 5 for the common denominator
The common denominator is 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 = 180
<em><u>Step Three</u></em>
Put the two fractions over 180


179/180
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 12 by .40 (the percentage) to figure out what the full number would be.
