What single percentage change is equivalent to a 12% decrease followed by a 18% increase?

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

12% decrease followed by a 18% increase.

To find:

The single percentage change is equivalent to the given set of percentages.

Solution:

Let the initial value be 100.

After 12% decrease, the value is:

[tex]v_1=100-\dfrac{12}{100}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]v_1=100-12[/tex]

[tex]v_1=88[/tex]

After 18% increase, the value is:

[tex]v_2=88+\dfrac{18}{100}\times 88[/tex]

[tex]v_2=88+15.84[/tex]

[tex]v_2=103.84[/tex]

The initial value  is 100 and the new value in 103.84. So, it represents  increase in the value. So, increase percentage is

[tex]Increase\%=\dfrac{\text{New -Initial}}{\text{Initial}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]Increase\%=\dfrac{103.84-100}{100}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]Increase\%=3.84[/tex]

Therefore, the value increased by 3.84%.

Sally bought 4 chocolate bars and 8 lollipops and paid $8.00. Josh bought 3 chocolate bars and 10 lollipops and paid $7.00.



What is the cost of a lollipop? Enter your answer as a decimal

Answers

Answer:

Lollipops cost $0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

4C + 8L = $8.00

3C + 10L = $7.00.                  We need to cancel out chocolate bars

-12C - 24L = $-24.00        Mulitply by -3

12 C + 40L = $28.00           Muliply by 4          Next simplify

16L = $4.00                   Divide both sides by 16

L = $0.25

WE CAN EVEN CHECK OUR WORK

4C + 8(0.25) = $8.00

4C = $6.00

C = 1.5

3(1.5) + 10(.25) = $7.00

Jada walks up to a tank of water than can hold up to 10 gallons. When it is active, a drain empties water from the tank at a constant rate. When Jada first sees the tank, it contains 7 gallons of water. Three minutes later, the tank contains 5 gallons of water.



a. At what rate is the amount of water in the tank changing? Use a signed number, and include the unit of measurement in your answer.

b. How many more minutes will it take for the tank to drain completely? Explain or show your reasoning.

c. How many minutes before Jada arrived was the water tank completely full? Explain or show your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

a.  rate to empty the tank = - 2/3 gal/min

b,  7.5 min to empty the tank

c.  4.5 min.

Step-by-step explanation:

I use the formula that the work done = rate of work times the time working = W = rt

The work in this problem is emptying the tank.  

a.  The rate to empty the tank is -2 gal/3 min or - 2/3 gal/min

b.   5/(2/3) = 15/2 = 7.5 min to empty the tank

c.    Since 3 gal. had already drained, 3/(2/3) = 9/2 = 4.5 min.

f(x) = x ^ 2 What is g(x)? ​

Answers

Answer:

A ; g(x) = (1/2 x)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get g(x)

we have a point on the curve g(x)

The point is represented by (2,1)

What this mean here is that, when x = 2, y = 1

Looking at the first option;

Substitute 1 for y and 2 for x

1 = (1/2 * 2)^2

1 = 1

This means this is our answer

The equation for g(x) is;

g(x) = (1/2 x)^2

Jose paid $1.12 for a dozen eggs at Target. How much would Jose have to pay for 18 eggs?

Answers

Answer:

56.16

Step-by-step explanation: All you do is just multiply

Answer:

$1.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Given it's $1.12 for 12 eggs, we divide 1.12 by 12 to see how much it cost for 1 egg

1.12/12 = 0.093

so 0.093 cents for 1 egg

0.093x18 eggs = 1.674 = $1.67

What is the value of m in the m + 3/4 = − 3/8

Answers

Answer:

M=-9/8

Step-by-step explanation:

-3/8-3/4=-3/8-6/8=-9/8

Answer:

m = -9/8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's get m by itself by subtracting 3/4 from both sides:

m = -3/8 - 3/4

The least common denonimator between our two fractions is 8, so we can turn 3/4 into the equivalent fraction 6/8 to subtract our two fractions:

please help solve!! i need my work need to me shown so please help me! ❤️

Answers

Answer:

56/19

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll approach this using Substitution. Since 3X = 2Y, we know that 1.5X = 1Y. We can plug that into the first equation, which gives us...

2X + 5(1.5X) = 8

2X + 7.5X = 8

9.5X = 8

19X = 16

X = 16/19

While this is not 'pretty', it does match up with how most of the answers are written (four of the answers involve "nineteenths"). With this value of X, we can solve for Y...

3X = 2Y

3(16/19) = 2Y

48/19 = 2Y

24/19 = Y

With the value of X and the value of Y, we can answer the question that's asked:

2X + Y = ?

2(16/19) + 24/19 =

32/19 + 24/19 =

56/19

Final Answer: 56/19

Answer:

[tex]x = - 1[/tex]

[tex]y = - 2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]3x + 2y = - 7[/tex]

[tex]2x - 5y = 8[/tex]

Apply elimination method. Let multiply the bottom equation by -3/2.

[tex]2 \times - \frac{3}{2} x = - 3[/tex]

[tex] - 5 \times - \frac{3}{2} = 7.5[/tex]

[tex]8 \times - \frac{3}{2} = - 12[/tex]

Substitute new equation and add it to the top equation

[tex]3x + 2y = - 7[/tex]

[tex] - 3x + 7.5y = - 12[/tex]

[tex]9.5y = - 19[/tex]

[tex]y = - 2[/tex]

Now plug -2 for y into any equation and solve for x.

[tex]3x + 2( - 2) = - 7[/tex]

[tex]3x - 4 = - 7[/tex]

[tex]3x = - 3[/tex]

[tex]x = - 1[/tex]

1. x=5/4

2. x=-4

3. x= 9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−x+3=3x−2

Step 1: Subtract 3x from both sides.

−x+3−3x=3x−2−3x

−4x+3=−2

Step 2: Subtract 3 from both sides.

−4x+3−3=−2−3

−4x=−5

Step 3: Divide both sides by -4.

−4x/−4 = −5/ −4

x= 5/4

Answer:

x= 5/4 (5 over 4)

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

1.5x−3=2.25x

Step 1: Subtract 2.25x from both sides.

1.5x−3−2.25x=2.25x−2.25x

−0.75x−3=0

Step 2: Add 3 to both sides.

−0.75x−3+3=0+3

−0.75x=3

Step 3: Divide both sides by -0.75.

−0.75x/−0.75=3/−0.75

Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides.

−10/3x+2−2=−1−2

−10/3x=−3

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 3/(-10).

(3/−10)*(−10/3x)=(3/−10)*(−3)

write the set in builder form. A{2,4,6,8}​

Answers

Answer:A=2,4,6,8

One way of writing this in set builder notation could be:

A={x|2≤x≤8|x2∈N}

Which can be interpreted as:

The set A is the set of any  x  such that  2≤x≤8  such that half of  x  is a natural number ( N ).

There are many ways of writing sets in set builder notation. Which is why it can be a little confusing to learn (the syntax) at first. Once you understand what all these new mathematical symbols mean (i.e.  ∈ , | , N ), it becomes much easier to “read as a sentence”.

Here are a few more ways of writing the set  A=2,4,6,8  in set builder notation:

A={x|2≤x≤8|x∈2⋅N}

A={x|(x−2)(x−4)(x−6)(x−8)=0}

A={x|x=2p|p∈{1,2,3,4}}

Given:

A string reaching from the top of a 12-ft pole to a point on the ground that is 11 ft from the base of the pole.

Let the value is C.

The Pythagoras' theorem,

C² = (11)² + (12)²

C² = 121 + 144

C² = 265
