Oh, what a fun little math puzzle we have here! Let's break it down together. If we follow the steps in order, we can start by adding 5 to 10, then divide the result by 3, and finally subtract 2 to find the number. Happy little calculations!
Pick any number. Multiply by 6. Add 13. Subtract 7. Divide 3. Divide 2. Then subtract by the original number you chose. Your result will always be 1. Tell a friend to mentaly multiply their age by 2. Tell them to add 14 then divide 2. Ask your friend what number they currently have. Now, you mentally subtract 7 from the number they tell you, then you'll know your friend's age.
Whether the change is an increase or decrease . . . -- Divide the new number by the original number. -- Multiply the result by 100. -- Subtract 100. -- Now you have the percent of change.
Six-and-a-quarter
The number is 72 because (72/9)-7 = 1

If you add, subtract or multiply rational numbers, the result will be a rational number. It will also be so if you divide by a non-zero rational number. But division by zero is not defined.
One way:-- Subtract the discount percent number from 100 .-- Multiply the result by the dollar amount.-- Divide the result by 100 .-- The result is the discounted amount.===============================Another way:-- Multiply the dollar amount by the discount percent number.-- Divide the result by 100 .-- Subtract the result from the original dollar amount.-- The result is the discounted amount.
You subtract the smaller number from the larger, then divide the result by the larger number and multiply that result by 100.

Pick a number between 8 and 20. double that number. subtract 16 from that answer. Multiply that result by 4. Divide that total by 8. add 15 to that answer. subtract the number that you started with.
Whether the change is an increase or decrease . . . -- Divide the new number by the original number. -- Multiply the result by 100. -- Subtract 100. -- Now you have the percent of change.
Suppose the number is x. Then 7x = 2x + 20 Subtract 2x from both sides: 5x = 20 Divide both sides by 5: x = 4
the result is always even

You can subtract them or divide them. If you subtract them, the result is their difference. If you divide them, the result is their ratio.
Multiply the number by the percent in decimal form, and subtract the result from the original number. Alternatively, multiply the number by (1 - the percent).
You divide 2 by 3. Then you multiply the result by 100.You divide 2 by 3. Then you multiply the result by 100.You divide 2 by 3. Then you multiply the result by 100.You divide 2 by 3. Then you multiply the result by 100.
