Answer:

p=3 and q=4 the mistake was in calculating 3q-4q-10=6 let's solve first.

Step-by-step explanation:

if p= 2q-5, substitute the p in the equation3q-2p=6 as

3q-2(2q-5)=6

solve the equation in parentheses :

3q-2(2q-5)\\

multiply  -2 \\ by (2q-5)\\ it will equal to:  3q-4q+10

now we want to let all unknown digits alone, so we will take 10 to the other side with a different sign it will be as:

3q-4q=6-10

now we will solve it:

3q-4q=6-10\\q=-4 at this part, the given equation was wrong in the paper.

we don't want the digit to be negative so we will do it like this:

\frac{-q}{-1} =\frac{-4}{-1 } = q=4

now that we found q we will substitute it to find p\\:

p=2q-5\\q=4\\p=2(4)-5\\p=8-5\\p=3

overall the mistake was in calculating q instead of putting 3q-4q=6-10  

he/she put a different sign in front of the digit like :3q-4q-10=6

so when he/she flipped  -10 it became positive and instead of subtracting he/she added it.

Pachacha [2.7K]
So what will it be a percentage of? it will be the percentage of the original recruits, of the original 150.

for this, we need to divide the number of recruits that left over all recruits, and multiply by 100%:\frac{30}{150} *100%= \frac{1}{5} *100%=20%

so the number of trainees decreased by 20 %
