Question

The percent increase from 8 to 14 equal to the percent decrease from 35 to x. what is the value of x

Answer 1

x= 20 and the decreased value is 35-20=15

Explanation:

percent increase = 6/14*100= 43

Percent decrease = 35-x/35*100

6/14*100=35-x/35*100

6/14= 35-x/35

6* 35= 14(35-x)

210= 490-14x

14x= 490-210

14x= 280

x= 280/14= 20
