Percentage decrease formula =
difference / original x 100%
95-74=21
21/95 x 100% = 22.1052632 ≈ 22.1 ( 3sf )
hope my answer helps
If we let x be the number of votes then, Brody got x/3 votes from his teammates. Below are the calculation for Darren and James.
Darren = 0.5(x/3) = x/6
James = 3(x/6) = x/2
From the answers, x/3, x/6, and x/2, the least is x/6 followed by x/3, and finally x/2. In order of the persons who garnered the least to greatest votes, the answer would be
Darren, Brody, and James
<span>The answer is B.
The reason being is that in this option they have set both sides of the equation separately equal to y. Since they are equal to each other, they would both have to be equal to an unknown y. This would look like this.
y = 1/4x - 3
y = 1/2x + 8.
Then to remove the fractions in each, they multiplied by the denominator associated with x. So, you multiply the first equation by 4.
4y = x - 12.
Then they solve for the numerical value at the end.
4y - x = -12.
You can do the same with the second equation.
y = 1/2x + 8
2y = x + 16
2y - x = 16
These are now the two equations above. </span>
It would be 6 because 6-2 equals 4
This expression is equivalent (9+3)4
