Q. The value of x x is decreased by 45% 45 \% . Which expression represents this situation?\newline0.955x 0.955 x \newline45x 45 x \newline0.45x 0.45 x \newline0.55x 0.55 x
  1. Subtract from 100100%: To decrease a value by a percentage, we subtract that percentage from 100100% and then apply the resulting percentage to the value. In this case, we are decreasing xx by 45%45\%. So, we subtract 45%45\% from 100%100\%.\newline100%−45%=55%100\% - 45\% = 55\%
  2. Convert to decimal: Now we need to express 55%55\% as a decimal to create an expression that represents the decrease. To convert a percentage to a decimal, we divide by 100100. \newline55%=55100=0.5555\% = \frac{55}{100} = 0.55
  3. Expression for decrease: The expression that represents the value of xx decreased by 45%45\% is therefore 0.550.55 times xx.0.55x0.55 x
