Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage decrease = 30% × 25

New value = 25 - Percentage decreaseNew value =

25 - Percentage decrease =

25 - (30% × 25) =

25 - 30% × 25 =

(1 - 30%) × 25 =

(100% - 30%) × 25 =

70% × 25 =

70 ÷ 100 × 25 =

70 × 25 ÷ 100 =

1,750 ÷ 100 =

17.5

Absolute change (actual difference) =

New value - 25 =

17.5 - 25 =

- 7.5

Answer:

25 decreased by 30% equals 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to make our equation to solve.

x/25=30/100

We did x because we don't know what 30% of x is. The 25 shows the total, while the right side shows the percent.

Now cross multiply

100x=750

Now divide both sides by 100.

you will get x=7.5

So now we know that 7.5 is 30% of 25. Now, subtract 7.5 from 25 in order to find out what 25 decreased by 30% is.

25-7.5=17.5

So the answer is 17.5

Are the ratios 3:5 and 2:4 equivalent? yes or no

jeyben [28]

Answer:

No, they are not.

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio can be written as a fraction. So 3:5 is the same as 3/5 and 2:4 is the same as 2/4.

3/5 = 2/4

0.6 = 0.5 INCORRECT

As you can see, the both don't equal the same numbers, so they aren't equivalent.

Suppose an opaque jar contains 3 red marbles and 10 green marbles. The following exercise refers to the experiment of picking tw

kow [346]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Red marbles = 3,

Green marbles = 10,

So, the total marbles = 3 + 10 = 13,

$\because \text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

Since, here replacement is not allowed,

Thus, the probability of getting a green marble and a red marble

= first red and second green + first green second red

$=\frac{3}{13}\times \frac{10}{12}+\frac{10}{13}\times \frac{3}{12}$

$=2\times \frac{3}{13}\times \frac{10}{12}$

$=\frac{30}{78}$

$=\frac{5}{13}$

Note : The probability of getting a green marble first and a red marble second

= $\frac{10}{13}\times \frac{3}{12}$

$=\frac{30}{156}$

$=\frac{5}{26}$
