either 37, 17, 20 or 24, 26, 51
First, you need to get the denominators (the bottom number) the same. The smallest number to get them to is 15.
So, what you need to do is take 2/5 and multiply the bottom by 3 to get 15, and since you did it to the bottom, you need to do it to the top too. So you would get, 6/15.
Then, for 1/3, take the bottom number and multiply it by 5. Then, since you did it to the bottom, do it to the top as well. You would get 5/15.
Then, you need to put them side by side. You don't add the bottom, so your denominator would remain 15, but your numerator (top) would get added.
<u> 6</u> + <u>5</u> = <u>11</u>
15 15 15
The quantity reported an <em>equivalent net</em> percentage change of 28 percent.
<h3>How to calculate the net change of a quantity in percentages</h3>
In this problem we must determine the <em>simple</em> percentage change equivalent to two <em>consecutive</em> percentual changes. The formula that describes the situation is:
1 + r/100 = (1 - 60/100) · (1 + 80/100)
1 + r/100 = 72/100
r/100 = - 28/100
r = - 28
The quantity reported an <em>equivalent net</em> percentage change of 28 percent.
