Answer:

-20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Regular price = $600

Current sale price = $480

To find the percentage decrease in this case, use percentage change formula;

Percentage change = \frac{Current price - Regular price}{Regular price}*100

Next, plug in the numbers into the formula ;

Percentage change = \frac{(480 -600)}{600}*100 \\ \\ =\frac{-120}{600} *100\\ \\ =-0.2*100\\ \\ =-20%

Therefore, the percentage decrease is -20%

Find the solution of the system of equations.<br> – 2 – 8y = -30<br> 2x + 8y = 36
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

x= 1.5

y= 4.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given the two equations

-2x - 8y = -30-------1\\\\2x + 8y = 36--------2

Step two:

let us subtract the equations

-2x - 8y = -30-------1\\\\ -(2x + 8y = 36)--------2\\\\0x-16y=-66

-16y=-66\\\\16y=66

divide both sides by 16

y=66/16\\\\y=4.125

put y= 4.125 in equation 2

2x + 8(4.125)= 36\\\\2x+33=36\\\\2x=36-33\\\\2x=3\\\\x= 3/2\\\\x= 1.5

The length of a planet's orbit around a star is approximately 17,650,000 km.
daser333 [38]

Answer:

1150 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for Average Speed is given as = Distance in Kilometers/ Time in Hours

In the question we are given the following parameters.

The length of a planet's orbit around a star = Distance = 17,650,000 km.

Time taken to complete a full orbit = 640 Earth days

Step 1

We need to convert the time in days to hours

1 Earth day = 24 hours

640 Earth days =

We cross multiply

640 Earth days × 24 hours

= 15360 hours.

Step 2

Average Speed = Distance in Kilometers/ Time in Hours

Average Speed = 17,650,000 km. /15360 hours

Average Speed = 1149.0885417 km/hr

Approximately to 3 significant figures=

1150 km/hr

Therefore, the planets average speed in kmh-1 to 3sf is 1150 km/hr
