Answer:
<u>After a 75% increase, it would become</u>
x + 75%x = x + 0.75x = x(1 + 0.75) = 1.75x
<u>After a 50% decrease, it would become</u>
1.75x - 50%(1.75x) = 1.75x - 0.5(1.75x) = 1.75x - 0.875x = 0.875x = 
Because is less than x, the new amount would be less than the original.
Answer:
3890000000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let sales be x
<span>.03x = 180 </span>
<span>divide both sides by .03 </span>
<span>x = 180/.03 = 6000</span>
Answer:
The numbers are 39 and 14.
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation 1, sum of the numbers:
x + y = 53
Equation 2, difference of the numbers:
x - y = 25
System of equations:
x + y = 53
x - y = 25
----------------
2x = 78
x = 39
Solve for y:
39 + y = 53
y = 14
The numbers are 39 and 14.
