To reverse a percentage decrease you divide it by the decrease (+ 100%)
For example we will pick the number, 100, which is decreased by 15% to 85.

To make 85 back to 100 we divide it by the decrease (1-0.15):
85 / 0.85 = 100

To find out how much 85 increased to get back to 100, we do:
15 / 85 = 0.1765 = %17.65

15 is the reduction/difference, and 85 is the with reduction total.

Because percentages stay the same, this is applicable to any numbers, from this, we know that whenever something is reduced by 15% - when restored to it's original is increased by %17.65

The answer is %17.65

What is the slope of the line with equation y=12x
fomenos
  <span>When you have an equation of the form y = mx + b (which you do in this case), the slope is always equal to the coefficient of x, which is m or 12 in this case. Since there is no "b" in your equation, you could say that b=0, and the line is known to cross the y axis at zero. 

In case you are interested, if the equation said y = 12 x + 3 the slope of the line would still be 12 but the line would cross the y axis at 3. If the equation said y = 12x -4, the line would have a slope of 12 and would cross the y axis at -4.</span>

JKLM is a rhombus. KM is 6 and JL is 8. Find the perimeter of the rhombus. image of rhombus JKLM with diagonals JL and KM inters
VLD [36.1K]
If a quadrilateral is a rhombus then:

i) all its sides have equal length,

and

ii) the 2 diagonals are perpendicular and bisect each other.


The 2 diagonals of rhombus JKLM intersect at N.

Then m(MNJ)=90°,  |JN|=4 and |NM|=3 units

thus, by the Pythagorean theorem, 

|MJ|= \sqrt{ 3^{2} + 4^{2} }= \sqrt{9+16}= \sqrt{25}=5

The perimeter of the rhombus is 4*5 units=20 units.


Answer: 20 units

27 + (8-5) -am looking for the answer of number 7
Rasek [7]

Answer:

The answer to the equation from question 7 is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

In question 7, we are given an equation.

2³ + (8 - 5)² - 3

First, subtract 5 from 8 in the parentheses.

2³ + 3² - 3

Next, solve the exponents for 2³ and 3².

8 + 9 - 3

Add 8 to 9.

17 - 3

Subtract 3 from 17.

14

So, the answer to this equation from question 7 is 14.
