Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to get the amount of change:

The amount of change can either be an increase or a decrease.

It can be calculated as follows:

amount of change = 

If the amount of change is positive, then it is an increase

If the amount of change is negative, then it is a decrease

Then, we need to convert this amount into a percentage:

Changing the amount into a percentage can simply be done by multiplying this amount by 100

This means that:

% of change = amount of change * 100

Combining the two steps:

% of change =  * 100

Examples:

The original price of a certain product was $10. It then became $12. Find the % of increase.

% of change =  = 20%

This means that the price increased by 20%

The temperature decreased from 25 degrees to 20 degrees. Find the percentage of decrease.

% of decrease =  = -20%

This means that the temperature decreased by 20%

Hope this helps :)

Steps on how to Solve 7 - 2p &gt; -5
ale4655 [162]

Hello!

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

<em><u>p<6</u></em>

<em><u>*The answer must have a positive sign and less than symbol sign.</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you subtract by 7 from both sides of an equation.

7-2p-7>-5-7

Then, simplify.

-2p>-12

Next, multiply by -1 from both sides of an equation.

(-2p)(-1)

Simplify.

2p

You can also divide by 2 from both sides of an equation.

\frac{2p}{2}

And finally, simplify and solve. You can also divide by the numbers.

12/2=6

Final answer: p

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

-Charlie

Have a great day!

:)
