<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>
Answer:
37.2
Step-by-step explanation:
when you turn the small triangle LMN to its right angle to cover the right angle of KLM, you find that they are similar triangles.
therefore the corresponding side lengths are at the same ratio.
LM/KM = MN/LN
LM = 24
MN = 13
we can get LN via Pythagoras of the small triangle
LN² + MN² = LM²
LN² + 13² = 24²
LN² = 24² - 13² = 576 - 169 = 407
LN = sqrt(407) = 20.174241
now back to our main problem
24/KM = 13/sqrt(407)
24×sqrt(407)/13 = KM = 37.2
Answer:
5mph over the speed limit
Step-by-step explanation:
In 1 hour the man drove 210/3.5=60 miles. 60mph is over the speed limit (55) by 5 mph.
9 x 0.55 = 4.95, which can be rounded to the ones place.

In calculating
the average score, add the scores of each person and then divide it by the
number of scores present. In this problem, Tony has forty seven points for five
different quizzes. You are required to calculate for the average score of Tony.
The formula is A = T/n, where A is the average score, T is the score, and n is
the number of quizzes.
A = T/n
A = 47/5
<u>A = 9.4</u>

Therefore, Tony has an average of 9.4 points in five different
quizzes. </span>
