It would be 67 because its the same decrease as the other.
Answer:
20 stamps
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be Muthu's original count
Let y be Sangeetha's original count
x = 4y
x - 12 = y + 12
y = x - 24
x = 4(x - 24)
x = 4x - 96
3x = 96
x = 32
so 32 - 12 = 20
I think that this is just showing how you can make different percentages by multiplying/dividing by specific numbers.
To know what to do first in a math problem we look to order of operations... PEMDAS stands for parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. So to begin we look for parentheses... do we have any? Why, yes, yes we do. Let's work!
(3+3) + 6 / 3 + 6 =
Add 3+3 in the parentheses. Since there is nothing else, the parentheses can go away.
6 + 6 / 3 + 6 =
Now, any exponents? Nope... Multiplication? Nope... division? Yes! Let's go!
6 + 2 + 6 =
Now all we have left is addition... Go for it!
8 + 6 = 14
Done!
