Answer:

percent decrease = 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of an item yesterday = $115

Today the price of the item has dropped to = $46

The percent decrease = \frac{46}{115}\times 100

                                     = 0.40 × 100

                                     = 40%

The percent decrease would be 40%.

A Delivery service charges $25 per pound for making a delivery. If there is an additional 8% sales tax, what is the cost of deli
mafiozo [28]

The cost of delivering an item that weighs 4/5 of a pound?$21.60.  

<h3>How to find the delivery cost?</h3>

Let x = the number of pounds

Thus, we can say that;

Cost = 25x * 1.08

Since we want to find the cost of delivering an item that weighs 4/5 of a pound, the we will put 4/5 for x to get;

Cost = (25 * 4/5) * 1.08

Cost = 20 * 1.08

Cost = 21.6

The delivery cost would be $21.60.

If (x - 4) varies inversely as (y + 3) and x = 8 when y = 2, what is x when y = - 1?
denpristay [2]

Answer:

x=14

Step-by-step explanation:

If two values are inversely proportional, their product must be maintained. That way, if one value goes up, the other goes down by the same extent.

Therefore, if (x-4) and (y+3) vary inversely, their product will be the same for all values of x-4 and y+3.

Let x=8 and y=2 as given in the problem. Substitute values:

(8-4)(2+3)=(4)(5)=20

Hence, the maintained product is 20.

Thus, we have the following equation:

(x-4)(y+3)=20

Substitute y=-1 to find the value of x when y=-1:

(x-4)(-1+3)=20,\\(x-4)(2)=20,\\x-4=10,\\x=10+4=\boxed{14}
