Two bags contain marbles. bag a contains 112 marbles, and bag b contains 140 marbles. what percent fewer marbles does bag a than bag b?

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Two bags contain marbles, while Bag A contains 112 marbles, bag B contains 140 marbles.

Number of marbles in bag A = 112

Number of marbles in bag B = 140

Differences in the marbles

= 140-112= 28

Percent fewer marbles in Bag A than Bag B will be:

Difference in marbles in the bags divided by the marbles in bag B multiplied by 100.

= 28/140 × 100

= 1/5 × 100

= 20%

the linear relationship that represents a variation in direct proportion is the linear function that varies according to the numbers of its domain, for example the cost of producing x number of items can be represented in direct proportion by f (x) = mx + b, where m is the constant of proportionality, x the number of articles produced and b the fixed cost
