Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. How much was the decrease from Figure A to Figure B (let x be the decrease): 45x = 27
  2. Divide each by 45 to cancel out the 45 next to x. It should now look like this: x = 3/5
  3. To find x, we would normally multiply x by 3/5, but because we don't have x, we just DIVIDE 18 by 3/5: 18 ÷ 3/5 = 30
  4. So, x = 30

I hope this helps!
