How did the temperature change if it increased by 25 % and then decreased by 40% ?
Based on the answer by Lauren, the answer would be decreased by 25%
IDK try to decrease by 75%??
oh nvm its 25%
To determine how the temperature changed after increasing by 25% and then decreasing by 40%, follow these steps:
Step 1: Start with the original temperature.
Step 2: Increase the original temperature by 25%.
Step 3: Take the result from Step 2 and decrease it by 40%.
Let's assume the original temperature is X.
Step 1: Original temperature = X
Step 2: Increased temperature = X + (25% of X) = X + (0.25X) = 1.25X
Step 3: Final temperature = Decreased temperature = 1.25X - (40% of 1.25X) = 1.25X - (0.4 * 1.25X) = 1.25X - 0.5X = 0.75X
Therefore, the final temperature is 0.75X, which means the temperature decreased by 25%.
I DO RSM AND FOR THE ANSWER YOU NEED TO WRITE DECREASE OR INCREASE BY HOW MUCH PERCENT SO WHAT IS THE ANSWER TO THAT?
I changed percentages to decimals.
1.25 -.40 = ?
1.00 - ? = ??
Let x be the starting temperature.
y=1.25x
z=y-.4y=1.25x-.4(1.25x)=.75x
So the final temperature is 75% of the original temperature.
