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

Please don't give me a FILE<br> PLEASE HELPPP ILL GIVE 15 POINTS AND BRAINLIST
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

My reasoning is that the sum of the numbers in the left is equal to the sum of the numbers in the right.

Therefore 6=2y+3

2y=6-3

2y=3

y=1.5 or 1and a half which is equivalent to 3/2

You have a rectangular prism on your hands. The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is

(B/2) • l

Where B is the area of the base, and l is the length.

If you notice, you do NOT have the height of the triangle. However, you know that it is an equilateral triangle. So, you may split the triangle into two. Once you do, you can see that it is a right triangle. It’s hypotenuse is 3. If you know your triangles, you will realize that this is a 30 60 90 triangle. Therefore, the height will be 1.5 * sqrt(3)

So, to get B...

3 * 1.5sqrt(3)
4.5sqrt(3)
(Divide by 2)
2.25sqrt(3)
O
(9sqrt(3))/4
Multiply by the length of the prism, 6

This is your final answer in fraction form

Find the equation of the line that passes through both (5,1) and (8,-2)
Georgia [21]

Let f(x) = ax+b be the line that passes through both points.

We know that f(5) = 1 and f(8) = -2. So:

\begin{cases}5a+b = 1 \\ 8a+b = -2\end{cases}

Solving the system, we get that a= -1 and b = 6.

So the line is equal to f(x) = 6-x.

A computer company makes a rectangular screen with a The dimensions of the computer screen are modeled by diagonal of 20 inches.
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

  x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation shown can be solved this way.

  x^2 +(x -4)^2 = 20^2

  x^2 +x^2 -8x +16 = 400

  2x^2 -8x -384 = 0

  x^2 -4x -192 = 0

  (x -16)(x +12) = 0

The positive solution is ...

  x = 16

_____

Since this makes use of the Pythagorean theorem, you've probably run across the 3-4-5 triangle. You often find scaled versions of it in algebra and geometry problems. Here, it is scaled by a factor of 4 to give a 12-16-20 triangle as half of the display screen.

The 3-4-5 triple is the only Pythagorean triple that is an arithmetic sequence. So, if the difference in side lengths is 4 and the diagonal is 5×4, you can be pretty certain that x = 4×4 and x-4 = 4×3.
