<span>Answer:
The multiplication factor of increase should be inverse of the multiplication factor of decrease.
e.g. Say you have a number 100.
You increase it by 25%. The multiplication factor is 5/4 i.e. when you multiply 100 by 5/4, you get 100*5/4 = 125. This is 25% more than 100.
Now you want to decrease it by a certain % such that you get 100 back.
Basically, 100*5/4 * x = 100
So x = 4/5 (inverse of 5/4)
Hence, you decrease by 20% (the multiplication factor of 20% is 4/5)
or
Use this formula: cumulative % change = a + b + ab/100
You want the cumulative change to be 0.
a + b + ab/100 = 0
If you know that you are increasing by 25% and want to find the % by which you should decrease to get the same number,
25 + b + 25b/100 = 0
5b/4 = -25
b = -20
So you need to decrease (hence you get the -ve sign) by 20%.</span>
Answer:
3b
Step-by-step explanation:
if each brick is 3 inches tall, and there are b bricks, each b is 3, therefore 3b

Explanation:
SAS stands for Side Angle Side. Note how the angle is between the two sides. To prove the triangles congruent with SAS, we need to know two sides and an angle between them.
We already see that BC = CD as shown by the tickmarks. Another pair of sides is AC = AC through the reflexive theorem.
The missing info is the angle measures of ACB and ACD. If we knew those angles were the same, then we could use SAS to prove triangle ACB is congruent to triangle ACD.
It turns out that the angles are congruent only when they are 90 degrees each, leading to AC being perpendicular to BD. We write this as . The upside down T symbol meaning "perpendicular" or "the two segments form a right angle".
Answer:
3 miles = 5280 yds
5280 yds > 5,000 yds
in this case 3 miles is greater than 5,000 yards
