1. ## Percents

How can I solve this:

If a certain price goes down 5,8%
how many procents the price should
rise that it would be as much as it
used to be.

Thank you!

wat do u mean by ur question? if the price goes down by 5.8% say for example $25 that will be$23.55.
then the rate that it should increase to be $25 again if that's it, then you'll need$1.45 for it be $25 again.$\displaystyle R=\frac{P}{B}\displaystyle R=\frac{1.45}{23.55}\displaystyle R=6.15\%$i'm not really sure bout it. correct me if I am wrong. 3. Let v1 be the first price, v2 the second(down price), p2 be the percentage required. now you have$\displaystyle v1-0.058v1=v2\displaystyle v2+p2 v2=v1$From here you can find p2, which is the percentage required. (answer p2 = 6.15%). As it is mentioned in the above post. 4.
