600 or 600 decreased by 20% and then increased by 20% of the result? Which amount is larger and by how much

ohaa [14]

Answer:

The initial value of 600 is larger and larger by 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all a 20% decreased of 600.

So, the new value will be $600(1 - \frac{20}{100}) = 600 \times 0.8 = 480$ .

Now, then it is increased by 20% i.e. 480 will be increased by 20%.

So, the new value will be $480(1 + \frac{20}{100}) = 480 \times 1.2 = 576$ .

Therefore, the initial value of 600 is larger and larger by (600 - 576) = 24. (Answer)

A collection of stamps consists of 3c stamps 5c stamps and 7c stamps. There are 6 more 3c stamps than 5c stamps and two more 7c

Deffense [45]

The number of 3¢ stamps that are in the collection is: 22.

<h3>What is an expression?</h3>

An expression can be defined as a mathematical equation which is used to show the relationship existing between two or more variables and numerical quantities.

In this exercise, you're required to determine the number of 3 cents (3¢) . Therefore, we would translate the word problem into an algebraic expression and then evaluate it as follows:

<u>Note:</u> 100 cents (¢) is equal to 1 dollar ($).

A collection of stamps consists of 3¢ stamps, 5¢ stamps and 7¢ stamps; 3¢ + 5¢ + 7¢ = 194

6 more 3¢ stamps than 5¢ stamps; 3¢ = 5¢ + 6 ⇒ 5¢ = 3¢ - 6

Two more 7¢ stamps than 3¢ stamps; 7¢ = 3¢ + 2

Combining the above equations, we have:

3¢ + 3¢ - 6 + 3¢ + 2 = 194

9¢ = 198

¢ = 198/9

¢ = 22.
