The quantities S and T are positive and are related by the equation S=K/T, where k is a constant. If the value of S increases by 60 percent, then the value of T decreases by what percent? Answers
A) 25%  B) 33 ¹/₃%  C) 50%  D) 66 ²/₃%  E) 75%
We can assign numbers:   lets say S = 2, K = 6 (constant) and T = 3 (so that S=K/T)   Now increasing S by 50% gives S=4, K remains constant, so T = 2 (6/2=3)   decrease in T= 1, percent decrease in T = (1/4)*100=
