Answer:
40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = numerator
Let y = denominator
Decreased by 30% = 100% - 30% = 70% = 70/100 = 0.7
Decreased by 50% = 100% - 50% = 50% = 50/100 = 0.5
1.4 as a percentage = 1.4 x 100 = 140%
Therefore, the percentage increase is 140 - 100 = 40%
Hi,
Essentially, we are saying that Alyssa gets 5 parts of the whole thing (140,000), Bart gets 3 parts of the whole and Meghan gets 2 parts of the whole. The sum total of their parts = the whole. So now we need to find out how much one part is. Thus,"one part" should be the variable. Substitute p for "one part", so Alyssa gets 5p, Bart gets 3p, and Meghan gets 2p. Since the sum of the parts = the whole, your problem sets up as: 5p + 3p + 2p = 140,000 --> 10p = 140,000 --> 10p/10 = 140,000/10 --> x = 14,000.
Alyssa gets 5p or (5 x 14,000)
Bart gets 3p or (3 x 14,000)
Meghan gets 2p or (2 x 14,000)
If the whole was a loss, it would be a negative, and instead of getting money, they would lose money.
