This is a 2.5% decrease in price.

For this case we can make the following rule of three:
2.05 $ -----> 100%
2.00 $ -----> x
Clearing x we have:
x = (2.00 / 2.05) * (100)
x = 97.5
Then, the percentage that decreases is:
100-97.5 = 2.5%
Answer:
the price did decrease 2.5% during January

Answer:

the rate at which the distance between the planes is changing is 825 each hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the rate at which the distance between the planes is changing is shown below

= Travelling one plane + travelling another plane

= 450 mph + 375 mph

= 825 mi each hour

Therefore the rate at which the distance between the planes is changing is 825 each hour

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

And, the same is to be considered

HELPPPP PLEASEEE IM BEGGING SOMEONE PLEASE PLEASE HELP

Given:

The figure of a rhombus QRST.

To find:

A. The value of x.

B. The measure of angle RQP.

Solution:

A. We need to find the value of x.

We know that the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors. It means the angles on the intersection of diagonals are right angles.

$m\angle RPS=90^\circ$ [Right angle]

$(5x+15)^\circ=90^\circ$

$(5x+15)=90$

$5x=90-15$

$5x=75$

Divide both sides by 5.

$x=\dfrac{75}{5}$

$x=15$

Therefore, the value of x is 15.

B. We need to find the measure of angle RQP.

From the given figure, it is clear that

$m\angle RQP=(2x+3)^\circ$

Putting $x=15$ , we get

$m\angle RQP=(2(15)+3)^\circ$

$m\angle RQP=(30+3)^\circ$

$m\angle RQP=33^\circ$

Therefore, the measure of angle RQP is 33 degrees.

10. Write in slope-intercept form:<br> -3x + 4y = 12

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Write in slope-intercept form:

-3x + 4y = 12 is

Slope = 1.500/2.000 = 0.750

x-intercept = 12/-3 = 4/-1 = -4.00000

y-intercept = 12/4 = 3

I will give u brianliest

Bond [772]

Answer:

1: $3$ × $2$

2: $y^6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the numbers: $y(^3^*^2)$

$3*2 = 6$

Write it without exponents:

$y * y * y * y *y *y$ so $6y$ .

$(y^3)^2$

Apply exponent rule : $(a^b)^c=a^b^c,$ assuming $a\geq 0$

$(y^3)^2=y^3^*^2$

$=y^3^*^2$

Multiply the numbers: $3 * 2 = 6$

$= y^6$

Hope I helped! If so, may I get Brainliest and a Thanks?

Thank you, have a good one! =)
