Question

Last week, it rained x inches. This week, the amount of rain decreased by 5%. Which expressions represent the amount of rain that fell this week? Match all that apply to "does represent" match the rest to "does not represent".
A. g−0.05

B. g−0.05g

C. 0.95g

D. 0.05g

E. (1−0.05)g

Answer 1

I think the answer would be A because 5% ×100=0.05 , and in the question they have been telling us that it decreased by 5 from the last week so the equation would be g of the last week - 0.05
