Is/of = %/100 plug the numbers in 24/x = 16/100 then cross multiply then you get 2400 = 16x so you get x by itself so you would have to divide by 16. 2400/16 = 16x/16 the 16 on the x side cancel out so you get x = 150 (I used proportions)
Answer:
40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Original price = x
Sale = 20% off
20% / 100 = 0.2 to convert from a percent to a decimal
Sale = x - 20% of x = x - 0.2x = 0.8x
Sale price = y = 0.8x
Reduction of sale prices = 25% = 0.25
Reduction = y - 25% of y = y - 0.25y = 0.75y
End price in terms of original price (x):
0.75y = 0.75(0.8)x
= 0.6x
End price = 0.6 or 60% of original price, coming out to a 100-60 = 40% overall percentage reduction
(-25) + 10 + (-5) = -20 feet is his current position. To reach zero, he should add 20 feet to his altitude.
