Answer: A. divided the difference of the two quantities by the sum of the two quantities.
===================================================
Explanation:
The difference of the quantities is 20-15 = 5
The sum of the quantities is 20+15 = 35
Dividing those results leads to 5/35 = 0.142857 which rounds to 0.1429
That converts to 14.29%
This is likely the path Adam took. This path is incorrect. The correct steps are shown below
---------------------
Difference = 20-15 = 5
Divide the difference over the original quantity
5/20 = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
We have a 25% decrease because the new quantity (15) is smaller than the old quantity (20)
----------------------
Here's another way to approach the problem
A = old value = 20
B = new value = 15
C = percent change
C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%
C = [ (15-20)/20 ] * 100%
C = (-5/20)*100%
C = -0.25*100%
C = -25%
The negative C value means we have a negative percent change, ie we have a percent decrease. So this is another way to get a 25% decrease.
Answer: L = 29cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's go!!
To find any rectangle area, you have to apply this formula: A = L . w , where L is the length and w is the width.
So, we have w = L - 13 (the width is 13 less than the Length) and then, perimeter is 90 cm.
Well, I hope you remember that the perimeter of rectangle is 2L + 2W. In this case, 2L + 2w = 90
Then, you might to solve this system of equation:
2L + 2w = 90
w = L - 13
Simplifying the first equation, you'll have L + w = 45 (you can divide everything of 2).
Our new system:
L + w = 45
w = L - 13
Using the substituition method:
L + L - 13 = 45
2L = 58
L = 29 cm
the width is 29 - 13 = 16 cm
The greatest number is 28 people
This essentially means 12-8
|| means absolute value which is the distance from 0 the number is
Basically it’s the number but positive
So the answer is 4
In this case you can say in one hour Austin earns $7.50.
