Answer: 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

The consumption of a vegetable has decreased. While the consumption per capita in 2000 was 25.2 ​pounds, in​ 2010, the consumption dropped to 15.2 pounds.

Consumption in 2000= 25.2 pounds

Consumption in 2010= 15.2 pounds

Difference in consumption=

25.2 - 15.2 = 10.0

Percentage decrease will be difference in consumption divided by original consumption in 2000 multiplied by 100. This will be:

= 10.0/25.2 × 100

= 0.4 × 100

= 40%

wite the answer to the problem below, using the correct number of significant figures 18.432+ 5.55 + 19.3
Marysya12 [62]
18.432 + 5.55 + 19.3 
We can notice that the last number in the process of addition is 19.3 | with 1 decimal place value / 3 significant figures |
It is better to change all values to 1 decimal place value / 3 significant figures
18.432 → 18.4
5.55 → 5.6 ( 5 rounds up )
19.3 → 19.3
Let us add:
18.4 + 5.6 + 19.3  = 43.3
If you add the original numbers, you will get
18.432 + 5.55 + 19.3 = 43.282
43.282 ≈ 43.3
