I was going to answer but she gave you the answer sooo
--Percent means out of 100, so 20% = 20/100
The prob in other words is asking
-- $60 is 20% of what number?
'$60' -- ---> 60
'is' -- ---> =
20% -- ---> 20/100
'of' -- ---> * (multiply)
'what number' ---> x (variable)
Percentage decrease = d
h1 = 2950
h2 = 2550
d/100 = (h2-h1)/h1
d/100 = (2950-2550)/2950
d=13.56
Answer:
6 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Time taken by Sam = 3 hours
Sam's rate = 1/3
Time taken : Sam + Laura = 2 hours
Sam's rate + Laura's rate = 1/2
Let time taken by Laura = x
1/3 + 1/x = 1/2
1/x = 1/2 - 1/3
1/x = (3 - 2) / 6
1/x = 1 /6
x = 6
Hencw, it will take 6 hours for Laura alone to rake leaves
14 = 31.7 - 3x
-17.7 = -3x
x = 5.9
