Answer:

Your answer is -12.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the percent decrease, we:

Find the difference between the new value and the original

Divide the number by the original

Multiply by 100 and the % symbol.

The population of the town originally had 25,000. 3,200 people moved away. This means that the new population is 21,800.

21,800-25,000=-3,200

-3,200/25,000=-0.128

-0.128(100)=-12.8%

The towns population decreased by 12.8%.

Mike hiked to a lake in 4.5 hours at an average rate of 2

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

It took Pedro 3.81 hours to reach the lake.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by Mike to hike a lake = 4.5 hours

Average rate of Mike while hiking the lake = $2\frac{1}{5}\ miles/hr$

Formula for distance can be seen as:

$Distance = Speed\times Time$

Distance traveled by Mike = $4.5 \times 2\frac{1}{5} = 4.5\times \frac{11}{5} = 9.9\ miles$

Rate of Pedro while hiking the same distance = $2\frac{3}{5}\ miles/hr = \frac{13}{5}\ miles/hr$

Given that, Pedro also travels the same distance.

And we have to find the Time.

$Time = \dfrac{Distance}{Speed}$

$Time = \dfrac{9.9}{\frac{13}{5}}\\\Rightarrow Time = \dfrac{9.9\times 5}{13} = \bold{3.81\ hours}$

It took Pedro 3.81 hours to reach the lake.
