Mark bought a car for x dollars. One year later the car was 0.85x. What was the percent decrease.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]Let~the~percentage~decrease~be~equal~to~y.\\Then,\\0.85x = x-\frac{y}{100}(x)\\or, 0.85x = x-0.01xy\\or, 0.85x = x(1-0.01y)\\or, 0.85 = 1-0.01y\\or, 0.01y = 1-0.85 = 0.15\\or, y =15\\So, ~the~decrease~of~the~price~is~15%.[/tex]

Alternative method:

[tex]Percentage~decrease = \frac{Initial~Rate-Final~rate}{Initial~Rate}(100) \\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=\frac{1-0.85}{1}(100) = 0.15(100)=15[/tex]

Answer 2

Answer:

thr percent decrease is 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

you get 1.00 which represent beginning price u subtract the current price 1.00-0.85 you get0.15 which is 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios:

80 pounds             x

----------------- = ------------------

100 pounds      90 pounds

Cross multiplying, we get (100 pounds)x = 7200, or x = 72 pounds.

2k+16=30 i need help with this before March 2nd ASAP

Answers

Answer:

k = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal is to solve for the variable k in this problem.

To do this, we need to get k by itself!

2k + 16 = 30

Start by subtracting the 16 over from the left side to the right

2k + 16 - 16 = 30 - 16

Simplify by subtracting 16 from 16 on the left side (which is 0) and 16 from 30 on the right side (which is 14).

2k = 14

Then finish by dividing both sides by 2 to get k by itself.

[tex]\frac{2k}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{14}{2}[/tex]

Simplify by dividing 2 by 2 on the left side (which is 1) and 14 by 2 on the right side (which is 7).

k = 7

Answers

Answer:

x = 27.8

y = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

∡D ≅ ∡A, therefore:

65 = 2y - 5

70 = 2y

y = 35

EF ≅ BC, therefore:

2x + y = 90.6

2x + 35 = 90.6

2x = 55.6

x = 27.8

What is the difference between an independent variable and a dependent variable in statistics?

Answers

Answer:

The cause is the independent variable. In your study, its value is independent of other variables. The affect is the dependent variable. Its value depends on the independent variable being changed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that lines q and m are parallel and are cut by two
different transversal lines, j and k, use angle relationships
to determine the measure of each numbered angle:

Answers

angle 1 = 180-110 = 70 degrees (linnear pair)

angle 2= 180-115 = 65 degrees (linnear pair)

angle 3 = angle 2 = 65 degrees (corresponding angles)

angle 4= 180 - angle 3 = 180-65 = 115 degrees (linnear pair)

(your teacher might not like this, depends on the cituation, but use 180 degrees in triangle to get 7)

angle 7 = 180 -angle1 -angle 2= 180-70-65= 45 degrees

angle 6 = angle 7 = 45 degrees ( vertical angles)

angle 8= 180- angle 7= 180-45 = 135 ( linnear pair)

angle 9 =angle 6 = 45 degrees (corresponding angles)

angle 5=angle 9=45 degrees (vertical angles)

1/2 means that the voltage (or charge) of the system will increase to half more of what is left in a time equal to t1/2 seconds. Therefore if a system is already at half charge (t1/2 seconds after starting) then after t1/2 more seconds the system will be charged to 50% plus half of 50%. That is 25% more, or 75% of the entire charge. Let's say that four t1/2's have gone by. That means that the charge (or voltage) is at (50% + 1/2*50% + 1/2*1/2*50% + 1/2*1/2*1/2*50%) = 93.75% of maximum charge. Yikes!
