<h3>What are Percentages?</h3>

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25 which is equal to 25%.

To convert a fraction to a percentage, convert the fraction to decimal form and then multiply by 100 with the '%' symbol.

Given the reduction in the price is $7, while the original cost is $32. Therefore, the approximate percent decrease in the price is,

Percentage decrease = 7/32 × 100%

= 21.87%

Hence, the approximate percent decrease in the price is 21.87%, thus, the correct option is B.

The correct question is:

There are 70 students in the school band. 40% of them are sixth graders, 20% are seventh graders, and the rest are eighth grader

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Sixth graders: 14

Seventh graders: 28

Eighth graders: 28

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you just have to use a rule of three to solve the percentages, remember that the 100% will be the 70 students, and we solve each case separetly:

70 students= 100%

sixth grades= 40%

Sixth grades= (40*70)/100

Sixth graders= 28

70 students= 100%

seventh grades= 20%

seventh graders= (20*70)/100

Seventh graders=14

So if we have that the rest of the students are eighth graders, we just add up the sixth and seventh graders and withdraw them from the total:

28+14=42

70-42=28

SOwe have that the eighth graders are 28

Karen claps her hand and hears the echo from a distant wall 0.113 s later. How far away is the wall? The speed of sound in air i

insens350 [35]

Answer:

19.3795 m

Step-by-step explanation:

If sound travels at 343 m/s and it took Karen 0.113 s to hear the echo from the wall, the distance travelled by the sound is:

$D=343\frac{m}{s} *0.113\ s\\D= 38.759\ m$

Note that the distance calculated above is the distance travelled from Karen to the wall and then back from the wall to Karen. Therefore, the distance between Karen and the wall is:

$d=\frac{38.759}{2}\\d=19.3795\ m$

The wall is 19.3795 m away from Karen.
