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%.

Hope its helpful!

If a pork roast must absorb 1700 kj to fully cook, and if only 14% of the heat produced by the barbeque is actually absorbed by

Lesechka [4]

The amount of heat needed to cook the pork roast is 1700 kJ.

The amount of heat absorbed by the roast is 14% of the heat produced = 14% X ?H = 310.38 kJ/mol

One mole of propane burns to produce 3 moles of CO2 and -2217 kJ of heat.

1700kJ/ (14% X ?H) = mol of C3H8 burned

1700kJ / (310.38 kJ/mol) = 5.48 mol C3H8

Since 3 moles of CO2 are produced:

3 X 5.48 mol= 16.43 mols of CO2

convert moles to grams:

16.43 mol CO2 X 44.0g/mol ~ 722.9 g CO2 produced

The difference of the square of a number and 5 is equal to 4 times that number. Find the negative solution.

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

$x=-1 or x=5$

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be 'x'.

According to the statement given above:

$x^2-5=4x$

$x^2-4x-5=0$

Factorizing the quadratic equation for 'x'

$x^2+x-5x-5=0$

Taking common from the equation:

$x(x+1)-5(x+1)=0\\(x+1)(x-5)=0\\(x+1)=0, (x-5)=0\\x=-1,x=5$

The solution of the equation is $x=-1 or x=5$

Which expression is equivalent to 1/8x- 1/2?

pychu [463]

This is done by factoring. 1/8 is smaller than 1/2, so we can factor a 1/8 out of 1/2. This is what that looks like: $\frac{ \frac{1}{2} }{ \frac{1}{8} }$ , because factoring after all is a form of division. When we divide a fraction by a fraction, we bring the lower fraction up and flip it to multiply, giving us this: $\frac{1}{2} * \frac{8}{1}$ . This of course reduces to 4. So when we factor out 1/8, what we will have then is $\frac{1}{8} (x-4)$ , choice D from above.

How did you compute sums of dollar amounts that were not whole numbers? For example, how did you compute the sum of$5.89 and$1.4

nignag [31]

Answer:

$7.34

Step-by-step explanation:

To compute sum of dollars that are not whole numbers. Using the sum of$5.89 and$1.45 as an illustration :

$5.89 + $1.45

Taking the whole numbers first:

$5 + $1 = $6

Take the sum of the decimals :

$0.89 + $0.45 = $1.34

Sum initial whole + whole of sum of decimal

$6 + $1 = $7

Remaining decimal : $1.34 - $1 = $0.34

$7 + $0.34 = $7.34
