During January, there were about 2000 cases of flu reported in a city. During February, there were about 1200 new cases of flu reported. If p represents the percent decrease in the number of people in the city who got the flu in February compared to the number in January, what is p? HURRY PLZ WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!

40%

Here is how I solved it:

Step 1: Convert into percentages.

2,000 = 100%.

Step 2: Find 50% of 2,000.

2,000 - 1,000 = 1,000.

Step 3: Subtract 200 (20%)

1,000 - 200 = 800.

Step 4: Convert 800 of 2,000 into a fraction.

= 800/2000

Step 5: Reduce the fraction.

800/2000 reduced = 8/20.

Step 6: Convert 8/20 into a percent.

800 = 40% of 2,000

Answer = 40%.

arithmetic sequence: a sequnce in which the diffrence between any two consecutive terms is the same

step-by-step explanation:

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
