Answer:
80%
Step-by-step explanation:
Focus on the important parts of the problem:
The present salary is 25% more than the previous salary.
previous = % of present ?
<u>Use a mock/fake situation.</u> Let' say the previous salary is $100.
100 = % of present
Present salary is $100 increased by 25%.
$100 X 1.25 = $125
100 = % of 125
Solve this in decimal form (convert it to a percentage later).
Let x be the percentage in decimal form.
100 = 125x
100/125 = x Isolate "x" by dividing by sides by 125
x = 0.80
Convert 0.80 to percentage by multiplying by 100.
0.80 X 100 = 80%
When comparing two things using percentage, 100% is the same. Less than 100% is less and more than 100% is more.
Since his previous salary was less than his present salary, this answer makes sense.
Therefore his previous salary was 80% of his present salary.
There was 32 total pupils and 2 obtained a level 5, so you subtract 2 from 32 and get 30. Then you divide 30 by 5 because to give you the the number of students which got a level 4 which is 6. 6+2=8 32-8=24
Level 4; 6pupils
Level 3; 24
Level 5:2
Answer:
-9x^2 - 15x.
-3x.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first quotient is -9x^2 - 15x.
To find the second result we divide the above by 3x + 5:
-3x
____________
3x + 5) -9x^2 - 15x
-9x^2 - 15x
-----------------
..................
The result is -3x.
