Mathematics

Answer:

<em>Claire has 16 stamps</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

If two variables are proportional, their ratio is constant. For example, the distance traveled by car is proportional to the time it travels at a constant speed. We write it as d:t=constant.

It's known the number of Claire's stamps to the number of John's stamps is 2:3 and John has 24 stamps.

This means the following relation must stand:

\displaystyle \frac{C}{J}=\frac{2}{3}

Where C is the number of stamps of Claire and J is the number of stamps of John. We know J=24, thus:

\displaystyle \frac{C}{24}=\frac{2}{3}

Solving for C:

\displaystyle C=24\cdot\frac{2}{3}

C = 16

Claire has 16 stamps

kogti [31]

Answer:

29%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the decrease from 50 to 21 you would subtract 50 - 21. You get 29. This is the same as 29/100. 29/100 is also 0.29 or 29%.

Hope it helps! (I'm so sorry if it's incorrect).
