Answer:
24.6 % decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the original temperature
Increase by 25%
x + .25x
1.25x
Decrease by 40%
The amount decreased is
(1.25x) *.40
.496x
Subtract that from 1.25x
1.25x - .496x
.754x
We need to find the percent decrease
1 - .754 = .246
24.6 % decrease
In order to find a fraction, We know that a percentage is out of a 100. This means we can now place our fraction as:
38/100
In order to find the actual fraction, we will want to simplify. Lets find our least common factor and work down from there. Since we know that 2 can go into both of them, lets reduce by 2.
This means our fraction will now look like:
19/50
Since 19 is a prime number and cannot be divided by anything but 1 and itself, we know that this is our simplified form.
This means:
19/50 is the fraction equivalent to 38%.
