<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:
They are not parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
original equation
10x + 3y = -3
subtract 10x
3y = -10x - 3
divide by 3
y = -10/3x - 1
original equation
5x - 4y = -3
subtract 5x
-4y = -5x-3
divide by -4
y = 5/4x + 3/4
the slopes are not equal to each other (5/4x and -10/3x) so they are not parallel
Answer:
479
Step-by-step explanation:
342=2 portions
171=1 portion
2+5=7 portions in total
171 times 7=479

The answer would be p + s = q + s ...so it would be B.
Answer:
a14 = -40,960
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence has a first term of 5 and a common ratio of -10/5 = -2, so the n-th term is given by ...
an = a1·r^(n-1)
an = 5·(-2)^(n-1)
The 14th term is then ...
a14 = 5·(-2)^(14-1) = -5·2^13 = -5·8192
a14 = -40,960
