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 70 percent, then the value of T decreases by what percent? Choose one:
A) 16 1/3%
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=6, K remains constant, so T = 2 (6/2=3)   decrease in T= 1, percent decrease in T = (1/6)*100 = 16.33%   16 1/3%nswer 16 1/3%
