Yes...the person's hypothesis could be correct.
It’s -7/2
If it’s wrong I’ll correct it in the comments
Let x be the original amount.
Increasing x by 24% means to add 24% of x to the original amount x.
x + 24% of x = x + .24x = 1x + .24x = 1.24x.
Therefore, to increase a given amount by 24% then multiply the original amount by a single factor of 1.24 .
Answer:
$25
Step-by-step explanation:
1/5 = $5
2/5 = $10
3/5 = $15
4/5 = $20
5/5 = $25
-t + 9t - 12t - (-16t) - 18t = -6
-t + 9t - 12t + 16t - 18t = -6
-6t = -6
-6t/-6 = -6/-6 (-6 on the left side cancels out so we are only left with T and our answer)
T = 1
