Answer:
You have to give the number by which the 20% is increased in order to cross multiply and divide by a hundred to find the missing % of the decrease. Otherwise, you would simply subtract 20% from 100%, which seems unlikely to be the answer. We need more information.
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>If you imagine a straight line, with -9 all the way on the left, then mark along the line in one number increments until you get up to 7, you will find that in total the line is 16 segments in total. Mathematically, this is a question of absolute value, ie absolute value of -9 = +9, and therefore 9 + 7=16.</span>
Rational numbers are numbers that can be turned into a fraction. They can be negative or positive.
Integers are whole numbers. They can be negative or positive.
Numbers such as 0.10 are rational because they can be turned into a fraction
0.10 = 1/10....and since it is not a whole number, it is not an integer.
