Answer: 35%

Step-by-step explanation:

If no is 10, 10 x 0.65 = 6.5. OR

10 - 35% of 10 = 6.5

  Multiplying by 0.65 is the same as decreasing by 35%

Conversion of statements into algebraic expression:

  • To convert the statement into algebraic expression choose the variables first.
  • Then form the expression or equation as per given statements.

Let the number is 'a' and percentage decrease is 'b',

Expression for the given statement will be,

a × 0.65 = a - (b% of a)

[tex]0.65a=a(1-\frac{b}{100})[/tex]

[tex]0.65=1-\frac{b}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{b}{100}=1-0.65[/tex]

[tex]b=100(0.35)[/tex]

[tex]b=35[/tex]

    Therefore, Multiplying by 0.65 is the same as decreasing by 35%.
