First, lets convert them into multipliers:
The multiplier for a:
25% increase = 1.25
40% decrease = 0.6
40% increase = 1.4
Now to work out the overall percentage change, we just times all of the multipliers together, and convert it back to a percentage:
1.25 x 0.6 x 1.4 = 1.05
So the overall multiplier is 1.05
And a multiplier of 1.05 = a <u>5% increase</u>.
That means that the percentage change is + 5%

Note: if you haven't been taught multipliers - then ask and I'll try my best to explain!
So to start subtract $5 from $16.25 for the monthly membership
That gives you $11.25
So then you Just divide...
$11.25 divided by $1.25
which gives you 9
So bill rented 9 movies for the month
Hope this helped! :)
368 miles / 16 gallons
368/16=23 miles per gallon
Because we know x stays constant, draw a point on (0,5). then draw a line extending up and down from (0,5) indefinitely because no matter what y is, x always stays the same--5.
