Answer:

Greater than.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original value be x.

A 50% increase in x is given by

x + 50%x

=> x + 0.5x

=> 1.5x

Followed by a 33 \frac{1}{3} % decrease in the value gives:

1.5x - 33 \frac{1}{3} %(1.5x)

=> 1.5x - 0.33(1.5x)

=> 1.5x - 0.495x

=> 1.005x

Since 1.005x is greater than the original value, x, then:

A 50% increase followed by a 33 \frac{1}{3} % decrease gives a value that is greater than the original.

40 is what percent of 150
MariettaO [177]

Always use this formula to find a percentage:

<span>% / 100 = Part / Whole</span> replace the given values:

40 / 100 = Part / 150

Cross multiply:

40 x 150 = 100 x Part, or

6000 = 100 x Part

Now, divide by 100 and get the answer:

Part = 6000 / 100 = <span>60</span>

a certain triangle has a perimeter of 3067 mi. the shortest side measures 71 mi less than the middle side and the longest side m
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The measure of the shortest side is 851 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the measure of the shortest side

y ---> the measure of the middle side

z ---> the measure of the longest side

we know that

The perimeter of triangle is equal to

P=x+y+z

P=3,067\ mi

so

3,067=x+y+z ----> equation A

the shortest side measures 71 mi less than the middle side

so

x=y-71 ----> equation B

the longest side measures 372 mi more the the middle side

so

z=y+372 ----> equation C

substitute equation B and equation C in equation A

3,067=(y-71)+y+(y+372)

solve for y

3,067=3y+301\\3y=2,766\\y=922

Find the value of x

x=y-71\\x=922-71\\x=851

therefore

The measure of the shortest side is 851 miles
