Here are some formulas...
percent increase = (new number - original number) / original number...* 100
percent decrease = (original number - new number) / original number...* 100
============
a student raises her grade from a 75 to a 90....since it is going from a smaller number to a larger number, u have an increase
percent increase = (90 - 75) / 70....* 100
= 15/70 * 100
= 0.2142 * 100
= 21.42 rounds to 21.4% increase
-------------------------
36.50 on sale for 32.12...since it goes from a larger number to a smaller number, u have a decrease
percent decrease = (original number - new number) / original * 100
= (36.50 - 32.12) / 32.12...* 100
= 4.38 / 32.12...* 100
= 0.1363...* 100
= 13.63 rounds to 13.6% decrease
------------------------------
23.5 to 21.2......this is a decrease
percent decrease = (original number - new number) / original...* 100
= (23.5 - 21.2) / 23.5....* 100
= 2.3 / 23.5....* 100
= 0.0979 * 100
= 9.79 rounds to 9.8% decrease
Answer:

-5/9 ≥ 5k

Answer:
a = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
2(a + 7) = 5a - 13
We want to bring a to one side, I will choose to bring it to the right
First, expand the bracket by multiplying 2 with a + 7
2a + 14 = 5a - 13
Bring the -13 to the left by adding 13 to both sides
2a + 14 + 13 = 5a - 13 + 13
Simplify
2a + 27 = 5a
Bring the 2a to the right by subtracting 2a from both sides
2a - 2a + 27 = 5a - 2a
Simplify
27 = 5a - 2a
27 = 3a
Bring the 3 to the left by dividing both sides by 3
27÷3 = a
Simplify
a = 9
