So you have to decrease £30 by 20%
To do this, an easy way would be to first take away 100% from 20% because you are DECREASING :
100 - 20 = 80
Then divide your answer by 100 :
80 / 100 = 0.8
This means 0.8 is going to be your multiplier so you do
0.8 * 30 = 24
Answer = £24
Answer:here ya go boys
Step-by-step explanation:
If you use a proportion, you'll get:

Then, you use cross products:

Then, you algebraically solve x:

The answer is 5/3 inches , or 1 5/13 inches, or 1.6 repeating.
2 - 0.5n= 3n+16
----------------------- subtract 2 from both sides
-2 -2
-0.5n = 3n+14
----------------------- then subtract -3n from both sides as well
-3n -3n
-3.5n = 14
--------------- divide -3.5 on each side
-3.5 -3.5
simplify
Answer: n= -4
