Member warned that homework posts must go in the homework sections
The price in the shop is $ 20 by how much % you how to reduce the price to get 15
So 20= to 100%. if you take away 20 from 15 you get 5
So if you take 100-5 =95
So is it 95%
if it is wrong explain please

What is 95% of $20?
 
  • #3
$ 19, but is it correct?
 
  • #4
If 95% of $20 is $19, how can you get that reducing the a price of $20 by 95% gives you $15?

Set up the problem as a mathematical equation.

Help me to set up the equation, because I'm confused.

Start simply: If you were told that there was a sale where items were 40% off, how would you go about calculating the price to pay for something originally costing $20?

As @DrClaude said, set up an equation to represent the situation. What you wrote here makes no sense. "20= to 100%" ??
If you take away 20 from 15, you don't get 5.
If you have $15 in your wallet, can you spend $20 and still have $5 left?

The numbers in the problem are 20 and 15.
 

1. What is the ideal percentage to remove in a study?

The ideal percentage to remove in a study varies depending on the specific research question and methodology. Generally, a small percentage (less than 10%) is recommended to minimize the potential impact on the overall results.

2. How do you determine the percentage to remove in a study?

The percentage to remove in a study is typically determined by considering factors such as the sample size, statistical power, and potential bias. It is important to carefully evaluate these factors and consult with other researchers or experts in the field to determine an appropriate percentage.

3. Is there a standard percentage to remove in scientific studies?

No, there is no standard percentage to remove in scientific studies. The percentage may vary depending on the research question, study design, and other factors. It is important to carefully consider these factors and determine an appropriate percentage for each individual study.

4. Can removing too high of a percentage affect the validity of a study?

Yes, removing too high of a percentage in a study can potentially affect the validity of the results. This is because a high percentage of removal may introduce bias and impact the representativeness of the sample. It is important to carefully consider the potential impact of removal on the validity of the study.

5. How can I justify the percentage of removal in my study?

The justification for the percentage of removal in a study should be based on a thorough evaluation of the research question, study design, and potential impact on the results. It is important to clearly explain the reasoning behind the chosen percentage and provide supporting evidence or references if possible.
