Answer:

<em>75%.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>8 - 100%</em>

<em>2 - x</em>

<em />\dfrac{8}{100 \%}=\dfrac{2}{x} \\\\x=\dfrac{2 \cdot 100 \%}{8} =25 \%<em />

<em>100% - 25% = 75% - the percent decrease.</em>

I need the answer to b and c. Pls Help!
mina [271]

Answer:

b) ? = 0

c) ? = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

By observing the equations, we notice a pattern. The resulting number is always equal to one number doubled added to the other number. Therefore, set up two equations as follows:

2(7)+y=14

2x+3=23

Assume that the provided number is the doubled number if it is a perfect factor, with 2, and assume the provided number is not the provided number if the difference between the answer and it is an even number.

Solve:

14+y=14

y=0

2x+3=23

2x=20

x=10
