Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.
This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

23. A number is increased by 25%... what must you reduce the new number by to get the old number again?
If - after being fully reduced - the denominator Only has factors of 2 and/or 5 - the decimal will terminate
20% - because 5/4 = 125% and 4/5 = 80% (reciprocal of 5/4) - 80% of the new number is the old number - so you must reduce the new number by 20% to get this amount
1 - (y/100)

If - after being fully reduced - the denominator has any prime factors OTHER than 2 or 5 - the decimal will not terminate
