WILL MARK BRAINLEST Drag each scenario to show whether the final result will be greater than the original
value, less than the original value, or the same as the original value.

Options:
An 80% increase followed by a 40% decrease

A 33 1/3% decrease followed by a 50% increase

A $25 increase followed by a $30 decrease

A 50% decrease followed by a 100% increase

A 20% increase followed by a 25% decrease

And they go into the categories that are...

Same as the original
Less than the original
And
Greater than original

Let x be the original number.  Also, please note that a percentage can be written as a decimal(54%=0.54), and that a percentage increase is the percent +1(A 54% increase is x*1.54), and that a percentage decrease is 1- the percent(A 54% decrease is 0.46)

1)1.8*0.6x= 1.08x (greater than the original)

2).6666*1.5x=0.9999x (same as original)(.999999 is essentially 1, because .3333 is not equal to 1/3)

3)x+25-30 = x-5 (less than original)

4)0.5*2x=x (same as original)

5)1.2*.75x=.9x (less than original)

Hope it helps <3

Greater than the original.

Same as the original.

Less than the original.

Same as the original.

Less than the original.

To check all the scenarios, let's say that the original value is 100.

An 80% increase followed by a 40% decrease:

100 * (1 + 0.8) = 100 * 1.8 = 180.

180 * (1 - 0.4) = 180 * 0.6 = 108.

It is greater than the original.

A 33 1/3% decrease followed by a 50% increase:

100 * (1 - 0.33333333) = 100 * 0.6666666667 = 66.666666667.

66.6666666667 * (1 + 0.5) = 66.666666667 * (3/2) = 100.

It is the same as the original.

A $25 increase followed by a $30 decrease:

100 + 25 = 125.

125 - 30 = 95.

It is less than the original.

A 50% decrease followed by a 100% increase:

100 * (1 - 0.5) = 100 * 0.5 = 50.

50 * (1 + 1) = 50 * 2 = 100.

It is the same as the original.

A 20% increase followed by a 25% decrease:

100 * (1 + 0.2) = 100 * 1.2 = 120.

120 * (1 - 0.25) = 120 * 0.75 = 90.

It is less than the original.

answer: bea's uncle is 25 years old.

step-by-step explanation:

given the equation , we can say that the variable "x" represents the age of bea's uncle. then to find his age, we need to solve for "x":

we must add 15 to both sides of the equation:

now we need to divide both sides of the equation by 3:

therefore, we can conclude that bea's uncle is 25 years old.
