Answer:

The quantity is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the solution to the equation.

Let the quantity we are looking for be x;

According to the question;

The quantity plus a quarter of the quantity = 15

x + 1/4(x) = 15

x + x/4 = 15

Multiply through by 4

4x + (x/4)*4 = 15 * 4

4x + x = 60

5x = 60

x = 60/5

x = 12

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: The answer is G

Step-by-step explanation:

If you don't see the stars, then the sky is not clear. This statement is equivalent to saying "If the sky is not clear, then you don't see the stars", because if you rearrange both statements you will find out that they are equivalent to each other.

Mark out all the words in each statement, you will discover that at the end you will have no word left on both side, its just as good as saying 1 - 1 = 0.

. A high school currently has a 30% dropout rate. They’ve been tasked to decrease that rate by 20%. Find the equivalent percenta
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The equivalent percentage point drop = 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage point change is the difference between the final and initial values.

The percentage change is the difference between the final and initial values

divided by the initial value

It is required to decrease the dropout rate from 30% to 20%

The point change = 20 - 30 = -10 (-ve change ⇒ decrease)

The percentage change = \frac{10}{30}*100 = 33.33_%%

So, the equivalent percentage point drop = <u>10%</u>

And the percentage change = <u>33.33%</u>
