Answer:
The required equation is:
0.23x = 52
Hence, option A is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Let 'x' be the initial depth
The snow is now 52 inches deep and it is a 77% decrease.
Let the initial 'x' depth be represented as 100%.
x → 100%
Given the current 52 inches is a 77% decrease. So, we need to decrease the 77/100 or 0.77 from the initial depth, so
[100% - 77%] of x = 52
[100/100 - 77/100] × x = 52
[1 - 0.77] × x = 52
0.23x = 52
Therefore, the required equation is:
0.23x = 52
Hence, option A is true.
