If you mean 9% of 153 your answer is 13.77
Last week, Christopher drove 480 miles
This week, Christopher drove 360 miles
The difference in miles this week compared to last week = 480 - 360 = 120 miles.
The percentage of decrease in miles compared to last week's = (Difference in miles ÷ Total miles last week) multiplied by 100 = (120 ÷ 480) x 100 = 0.25 x 100 = 25%
My answer to the problem is as follows:
Expressed as an absolute value.
<span>
The difference between the actual length, x, and the specification, 43.6, can be no more than 0.1 </span>
<span>
|x - 43.6| ≤ 0.1 <–––––
</span>
<span>The 43.6 is the target length, and the tolerance of 0.1 is how far off from the target is acceptable.</span>
Here is the equation represented by the situation.
M = 152 - c
You have a total number of band members. If you take away the number of concert band members, the remaining would be the number of marching band members.
