Answer: 20%

Explanation:
We have to remember a percentage is something out of a total or original amount. In this case, the original price is 25,000.

Now we have to find out how much it decreased. 25,000 to 20,000 is a decrease of 5,000.

Now the percentage is the amount out of the total. This is 5,000 (decrease) out of 25,000 (original price)

5,000/25,000
5/25
20/100
.2 or 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

exactly.

maybe this helps even more : always identify what is supposed to be 100% and what would be 1% then (1/100 of 100%). and then you check how often 1% fits into the amount in question.

100% = 25000

1% = 100%/100 = 25000/100 = 250

the price decrease is 25000 - 20000 = 5000.

so, the percentage is

difference /1% = 5000/250 = 20%

10. Infinitely many solutions:

2(x-1)+6x=4(?-1)+2.

Simplify this equation:

2x-2+6x=4\cdot ?-4+2,\\ \\8x-2=4\cdot ? -2,\\ \\8x=4\cdot ?

When ?=2x, the equation becomes

8x=8x \text{ or } 0=0.

This equality is true for all x, thus the equation has infinitely many solutions.

11. The equation 5x-(x-2)=2x-(?) should have one solution x=-1.

First, simplify the equation:

5x-x+2=2x-?,\\ \\4x+2=2x-?,\\ \\2x+2=-?,\\ \\?=-2x-2.

This equation will have solution x=-1 when

?=-2\cdot (-1)-2=2-2=0.

Therefore, the initial equation is

5x-(x-2)=2x.

12. The equation -(x-8)+4x=2\cdot ?+x should have infinitely many solutions.

Simplify it:

-x+8+4x=2\cdot ?+x,\\ \\2x+8=2\cdot ?,\\ \\2(x+4)=2\cdot ?.

When ?=x+4, this equation will have infinitely many solutions.

Simplify complex fraction 3/4 + 1/3/1/6 + 3/4
Arturiano [62]
= (3/4 + 1/3)/(1/6 + 3/4)
= (3/4 + 1/3)/(1/6 + 3/4)
 Multiply numerator and denoiminator by 12
=12(3/4+1/3) / 12(1/6 + 3/4)
= (3*3 + 1*4) / (2 + 3*3)
= 13/11
