When a number is decreased by 40% of itself, the result is 90. What is the number?

Answers

Answer 1

• Let the number be 'x'.



• Then, 40% of x -

= 40/100 × x

= 2/5 × x

= 2x/5


• Now, decreased number -

= x - 2x/5

= (5x - 2x)/5

= 3x/5



• But, according to the question, decreased number = 90

=> 3x/5 = 90

=> x = 90 × 5/3

=> x = 450/3

=> x = 150

• Hence, the number is 150



• Now, if 150 is increased by 40% -

= 150 + 40% of 150

= 150 + 40/100 × 150

= 150 + 4 × 15

= 150 + 60

= 210
Answer 2
Hello There, today we will solve your problem

__________________

Definitions

Percentage - In mathematics, a percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign, "%"

Solve

we can substitute 40% for 0.4x and make an equation

[tex]x-0.4=90[/tex]

simplify

[tex]0.6x=90[/tex]

divide both sides by 0.6

[tex]x=150[/tex]

answer to the nearest whole number if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

85%

-> If 34 of the 40 exhibits are lions, then 34/40 are lions.

Answers

Answer:

1) y > x

2) x > 5 > y

3) x ≤ 4  ( or 4 ≥ x )

4) x = y

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 1. y is greater than x

  2. so y > x

2) 1. 5 is less than x and more than y

   2. we can write this like x > 5 > y

   3. you can just squish them together as a shortcut usually: x > 5 and 5 > y      -->      x > 5 > y

3) 1. x is for at most, we can say this as x is less than or equal to 4

   2. this is written as x ≤ 4  or  4 ≥ x

4) 1. x - y = 0 so x and y must be the same value

   2. therefore x = y

Answers

Answer:

1.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

1.15

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first it would be helpful to change this from an improper fraction to a mixed number. Because we have an improper fraction now, we need to make this a mixed number by seeing how many times 23 can go into 20. Twenty-three can't go into 20, but if we take away 3 from 23 it can.

So, now we have 20/20 but with a remainder of 3/20. Because 20/20 = 1, it becomes a whole number of 1 and 3/20. Because there is a whole number of 1, we can put this as the whole number for the decimal. The fraction 3/20 is equal to the decimal 0.15, so we can now put the decimal together now that we have all the parts for the answer needed, which is 1.15.

I hope that this helps.

Answer:

f ( x ) = ( x - 5 ) ² - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

1- Add the same value to both sides

f ( x ) = x ² - 10x + 5

2- Add 25 to the expression

f ( x ) + ? = x ² - 10x + ? + 5

3- Add 25 to the left-hand side

f ( x ) + ? = x ² - 10x + 25 + 5

4- Factor the expression

f ( x ) + 25 = x ² - 10x + 25 + 5

5- Move the constant to the right

f ( x ) + 25 = ( x - 5 ) ² + 5

6- Calculate

f ( x ) = ( x - 5) ² + 5 - 25
