If you decrease something by 4 percent,
you are keeping (100% - 4%) or 96% of the original
so multiply by the original amount by 96 percent or .96
If you have 100 pennies, and you give 4 away ( 4 percent decrease), you still have 96 pennies. You are keeping 96 percent of what you started with. This works no matter how much you start with.
Example:
you have 40 dollars
4% decrease
40 * .04 = 1.6 take this away
40 - 1.6 = 38.4 left
you keep 96 percent
40 * .96 = 38.4 left
Answer:
31136
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the how much an number increased by a percent. Divide the percent by 100. 23/100=0.23.
Then multiply 0.23 by the original number which is 25,314. Which gives us about 5822.
Then since it INCREASED, we are going to add that number it increased to the original. 25314+5822= 31136.
Answer:
x > -15
Step-by-step explanation:
-x / 3 < 5
(-x / 3) * 3 < 5 * 3
-x < 15
x > -15 (Remember to flip the sign when multiplying or dividing an inequality by a negative number.)
Turn the percentage into a decimal
7.5%=0.075
.075x=7.38
Divide both sides by .075 to isolate x
x=98.4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of angle measures is ...
(7x +13)° +(83 -2x)° = 141°
5x +96 = 141 . . . . . collect terms, divide by °
5x = 45 . . . . . . . . . subtract 96
x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5
7x +13 = 7·9 +13 = 76 . . . . . find m∠J
m∠J = 76°
m∠K = 141° -76°
m∠K = 65°
