Question

the quantities s and t are positive and are related by the equation s=k/t, where k is a constant. if the value of S increased by 50 percent, then the value of T decreases by what percent??? ...?

Answer 1

well if you solve for t t = k/s Increasing by 50% is equivalent to multiplying by 1.5 t = k/(1.5s) 1/1.5 = 0.667 t = 0.667(k/s) t decreased by 33.3%
