The r% of a quantity x is computed by dividing x in 100 parts, and considering r of such parts. So, the r% of the male is

and similarly, the r% of female is

The number of males decreased by this quantity, so now it is

and the number of female increased by this quantity, so now it is

we know that these two new counts are the same number, so we can build and solve the equality

Subtract 20 and add 0.3r from both sides:

Divide both sides by 0.5 to solve for r:

Let's check the answer
The 20% of 30 is
, while the 20% of 20 is 4. So, we are stating that
which is true because both expressions evaluate to 24.
Answer:
a. 0
Step-by-step explanation:
1. To find the slope given two points, use the following formula:

2.
would be the second y-value (in the second ordered pair), 2, and
would be the first y-value (in the first ordered pair), also 2.
3. Same for the x-values.
is -2 and
is 4
4. Now plug in the values.

5. This equals
which simplifies to 0
