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

Only answer #5 <br><br><br>Please help me and thx and if u can answer #6 too if u can
Marianna [84]

Answer:

5. D

6. C

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Question 5</u>

Lets plug in values of x and y into each equation to see which one works for the entire data set...

y=2x-4

1) Plug in -7 as x and -18 as y:

-18=2(-7)-4

2) Multiply:

-18=-14-4

3) Subtract:

-18=-18

The answers are the same, therefore the correct answer to question 5 is equation D. Keep in mind, you want to check ever single pair of points to make sure it works for all of them, I'm just not going to list that as it would make this answer a lot longer for no reason.

<u>Question 6:</u>

We know that the cost for the boat is $25 as a base price, and also costs an additional $1.30 per day for fuel.

The correct equation is C=25+1.30d, because we are adding 1.3 every single day.

What is the first term of the fibonacci like sequence whose second term is 4 and whose fith term is 22?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The information in the question can be used to form an equation which goes thus:

2nd term = a + d = 4 ...... i

5th term = a + 4d = 22 ....... ii

From equation i

a = 4 - d ........ iii

Put equation iii into ii

a + 4d = 22

(4 - d) + 4d = 22

4 - d + 4d = 22

4 + 3d = 22

3d = 22 - 4

3d = 18

d = 18/3

d = 6

Commons difference is 6

Since a + d = 4

a + 6 = 4

a = 4 - 6

a = -2

The first term is -2
