A 30cm board is cut down to be 25.5 cm. What is the percent decrease in length?

1 answer:

8 0

Okie, so percent decrease is the amount loss divided by the original number and multiplied by 100 to find the percent. This is because you are finding the amount loss in terms of the total amount - percent basically.
The amount loss : 4 feet
4 feet/ 12 feet = .3333 (ratio of how much cut) multiply by 100 --> 33.3% decrease. From 12 feet to 8 feet is a 33.3 % decrease. I hope this helps :-)

Hey,

The lower quartile is the median of the lower half of the data set.

The median is the middle most number or the average of the two middle most numbers depending on how many values there are.

Answer:

(x, y, z) = (90, 75, 105)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, adjacent angles are supplementary, and opposite angles are congruent.

(x -15) +(x +15) = 180

2x = 180

x = 90
