It's D, 3-2i.
Hope this helps
Answer:
D. 60
Step-by-step explanation:
4(3x + 3) = 5(x + 8) 12(4) + 12 5(4) + 40
12x + 12 = 5x + 40 48 + 12 20 + 40
-5x -5x 60 60
7x + 12 = 40
-12 -12
7x = 28
x = 4
Let m the tens digit and n the ones
the Original number is 10m+n
7(m+n) =10m+n
7m+7n=10m+n
6n=3m
Reversing the number 10n+m
10n+m=18+n+m
9n=18
n=2
6n=3m
6(2)=3m
3m=12
m=4
the number is 10m+n=10(4)+2=42
So, 30% is 0.30, but since you are taking off 30%, you are going to have 70% of the price which is 0.70. The word "of" lets you know that you are going to multiply. So, what you do is 150•0.70=105. The discounted price is $105
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.
