Answer:
D)
Step-by-step explanation:
16,700,000,000,000,000 = 1.67 x 10^16
start at the last 0....count the number of spaces till u can get a decimal right after the first digit....thats 16 spaces. Now take ur numbers that are not 0...1.67....and multiply it by 10^16...because of the 16 spaces. I hope I am making some kind of sense...I am better at doing then explaining how to do...lol
The r% of a quantity x is computed by dividing x in 100 parts, and considering r of such parts. So, the r% of the male is

and similarly, the r% of female is

The number of males decreased by this quantity, so now it is

and the number of female increased by this quantity, so now it is

we know that these two new counts are the same number, so we can build and solve the equality

Subtract 20 and add 0.3r from both sides:

Divide both sides by 0.5 to solve for r:

Let's check the answer
The 20% of 30 is
, while the 20% of 20 is 4. So, we are stating that
which is true because both expressions evaluate to 24.
