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:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
In class 1, they used 10 sweet potatoes.
If they need 30, in class 2, they used 20.
The actual factor is 6(x + 1)(x^2 - x +1).
Let t be the number of tolls they crossed.
Amount they spent at each toll = $1.75.
Amount they spent at gas station = $28.
Let C be the total amount they spent on gas and tolls.
If they crossed 1 toll, then
C = 28 + 1.75(1).
If they crossed 3 tolls, then,
C = 28 + 1.75(3)
If they crossed t tolls, then,
C = 28 + 1.75t
Here, the terms are 28 and 1.75t and the factors are 1.75 and t.
