Answer:
20%
Step-by-step explanation:
20/25 = blue
This means 5/25 of the balls in the bag are NOT blue
(25-20 = 5)
We need to convert 5/25 to a percentage
% = per cent
"per" means "out of"
"cent" means "one hundred"
so
20/100 = 20%
Let 2k represent the original even number (such that k is an integer)
then 2(k + 1) is the next consecutive even number.
4(2k) - 16 = 2(k + 1)
8k - 16 = 2k + 2
6k = 18
k = 3
since 2k represents the original number, then 2(3) = 6 is the oroginal number
Answer: 6
