240 decreased 15% find percent and total amount

Mathematics
1 answer:
Doss [256]4 years ago
7 0
Hello!

"Decrease" means to take away, so subtraction would be used here.

We must find out 15% of 240 is, and to do that we will convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100, and then multiply the decimal by 240.

^ I know, that's probably a lot to take in at once! :D

15% ÷ 100 = 0.15

240 × 0.15 = 36

Now that we know what 15% is, we must subtract it:

240 - 36 = 204

Final Answer:

204 is the total amount after a 15% decrease.

Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

x1, x2 = 4.74 , -2.74

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the roots of a quadratic function we have to use the bhaskara formula

ax^2 + bx + c

x^2 - 2x - 13

a = 1     b = -2    c = -13

x1 = (-b + √ b^2 - 4ac)/2a

x2 =(-b - √ b^2 - 4ac)/2a

x1 = (2 + √ (2^2 - 4 * 1 * (-13)))/2 * 1

x1 = (2 + √ (4 + 52)) / 2

x1 = (2 + √ 56 ) / 2

x1 = (2 + 7.48) / 2

x1 = 9.48 / 2

x1 = 4.74

x2 = (2 - √ (2^2 - 4 * 1 * (-13)))/2 * 1

x2 = (2 - √ (4 + 52)) / 2

x2 = (2 - √ 56 ) / 2

x2 = (2 - 7.48) / 2

x2 = -5.48 / 2

x2 = -2.74
