The temperature decreased by 28%

Step-by-step explanation:

How did the temperature change if :

At first it decreased by 60%
Then increased by 80%

Assume that the temperature before decreasing is 100%

∵ The temperature before decreasing = 100%

∵ It decreased by 60%

→ Before decreasing : decreasing : after decreasing

→ 100% : 60% : 100% - 60% = 40%

∴ The temperature after decreasing = 40%

Assume that the temperature after decreasing is 100%

∵ The temperature after decreasing = 100%

∵ It increased by 80%

By using the ratio method

→ After decreasing : increasing : after increasing

→ 100% : 80% : 100% + 80% = 180%

→ 40% : : x%

By using cross multiplication

∴ 100% × x% = 40% × 180%

- Divide both sides by 100%

∴ x% = $\frac{(40)(180)}{100}$

∴ x% = 72%

∵ At first the temperature = 100%

∵ At last the temperature = 72%

∵ The first the temperature > the last the temperature

∴ The decreasing in temperature = 100% - 72% = 28%

The temperature decreased by 28%

<h2>HOW TO: SOLVE AN APPLICATION</h2>

Step 1. Identify what you are asked to find and choose a variable to represent it.

Step 2. Write a sentence that gives the information to find it.

Step 3. Translate the sentence into an equation.

Step 4. Solve the equation using good algebra techniques.

Step 5. Check the answer in the problem and make sure it makes sense.

Step 6. Write a complete sentence that answers the question.

Remember that whatever the application, once we write the sentence with the given information (Step 2), we can translate it to a percent equation and then solve it.

Do you pay a tax when you shop in your city or state? In many parts of the United States, sales tax is added to the purchase price of an item. See Figure 6.7. The sales tax is determined by computing a percent of the purchase price.

To find the sales tax multiply the purchase price by the sales tax rate. Remember to convert the sales tax rate from a percent to a decimal number. Once the sales tax is calculated, it is added to the purchase price. The result is the total cost—this is what the customer pays.

30 points.. Please Help! I don't understand what to do with this question...a bit confused.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Eh, here's my best try for a table:

Like tv don't like tv total
Like reading: 70 10 80
Don't like read. 20 30 50 
total 90 40 130

The percentage of students that like tv as well as reading is- 70 divided by 130 which gives you .538 which in percentage is 53.8%.

The probability of a student that does not prefer to watch tv as also does not like to spend their time reading is 30 over 40 which can be simplified or reduced to 3 over 4. [30/40 reduced to 3/4]

Hope this somehow helped you :)
