Answer:
1 solution
Step-by-step explanation:
3(2x-7)=9
dustribute: (3)(2)+(3)(-7x)=9
6+-21x=9
subtract 6 from both sides: -21x=3
Divide both sides by -21: x=-1/7
so your 1 solution is x = - 1/7
Answers:
a) 4/5
b) 1/5
================================================
Let's say you start off with $100. If you spend 3/4 of that, then you spend 75 dollars (because 75/100 = 3/4). Think of it like 75 cents = 3 quarters. If you spend 75 dollars out of 100 total, then you have 100-75 = 25 dollars left after the first round of spending.
If you spend 1/5th of what is left, then you spend $5 on the second round leaving 25-5 = 20 dollars left at the end of the day.
Total up what you spend for both rounds: 75+5 = 80, which divides over the original amount 100 to get 80/100 = 8/10 = 4/5
If you had 20 dollars at he end of the day, out of 100 initially, then 20/100 = 2/10 = 1/5 is the fraction of what you have left.
note how 4/5 and 1/5 add to 5/5 = 1.00 = 100%. This is because the amount you spend and the amount you have left over must add to 100% of all the money you started with
Answer:
Option (B).
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage change between two numbers a and b can be calculated by the formula,
% change = 
Where, (b - a) = Change in values
a = Initial value
If a = 16 and b = 20
Percentage change between 16 and 20 will be,
= 
= 
= 25%
If a = 20 and b = 16,
Percentage change = 
= 20%
Therefore, %change between 16 and 24 may be 16% or 20%.
Option (A),
= 25%
Option (B),
= 1.25 - 1 × 100
= 1.25 - 100
= -98.75%
Option (C),
= 25%
Option (D),
= 20%
Therefore, we can not use the calculation used in Option (B).
