A number is increased 20%.By what percent the new number is decreased so that the number restores the original value?​

Answer:

You have to give the number by which the 20% is increased in order to cross multiply and divide by a hundred to find the missing % of the decrease. Otherwise, you would simply subtract 20% from 100%, which seems unlikely to be the answer. We need more information.

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to have $25,000 for a down payment on a house 6 years from now. if you can earn 6.5 percent, compounded annually, on yo
STatiana [176]
Use compound interest formula:
Future value, F 
25000=P(1+i)^n
where
P=present value to be found
i=annual interest rate = 0.065
n=number of years = 6
so
25000=P(1.065)^6
=>
P=(25000/1.065^6)=$17133.353

I need help with geometry:
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

6/18 = x/(20-x)

1/3 = x/(20-x) Multiply both sides by 20-x

(20-x)/3 = x Multiply both sides by 3

20-x = 3x Add x in both sides

20 = 4x Divide both sides by 4

5 = x

Find the equation of the linear function h that has h(12)=-7 and that is perpendicular to q(a)=1/2a+38.. I don’t understand how
Effectus [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

q(a) = ½a + 38

The slope of q is ½.  So the perpendicular slope is -1/½ = -2.

Write h(x) in point-slope form:

h − (-7) = -2 (x − 12)

h + 7 = -2 (x − 12)

Simplify to get slope-intercept form.

h + 7 = -2x + 24

h = -2x + 17
