Supponiamo che due variabili x e y siano inversamente proporzionali; allora possiamo rappresentarli come x ∝ 1 / y. Ciò significa che se il valore di x aumenta, il valore di y diminuisce e viceversa.
Suppose two variables x and y are inversely proportional; then we can represent them as x ∝ 1/y. That means, if the value of x increases, then the value of y decreases and vice versa.
If 24 of the 60 were saved then the percent saved is
(24/60) x 100
Let's imagine for a second that all 60 was saved, then 100% of the money would be saved. Which makes sense, because
(60/60) x 100 = 100%
So the amount saved dived by the amount earned all times 100 is the percent saved.
4 - 9x = -14
4 - 4 - 9x = -14 - 4
9/9x = -18/9
x = -2
