Question

−125%+ 28/20 = aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Answer 1

3/20 or 0.15

Explanation:

1. Convert to fractions: -125%+28/20= -5/4+28/20

2. Find LCM for a denominator (20): -25/20+28/20

3. Compute: -25/20+28/20=3/20 or .15

Answer 2

15%, or .15

Explanation:

Convert -125% to twentieths or convert the twentieths to percent. That's easier. Since percent is (percentage)/100, we have to multiply by 5/5. So, we have 140/100. We can then convert this to percentage because the denominator is 100. We can then move over the -125% to after it to get 140%-125%, so we have (140-125)%=15%.
