So,
All you have to do to find the percent decrease is to subtract your score on Saturday from your score on Friday and divide the result by your score on Friday. If you let "f" represent your score on Friday and let "s" represent your score on Saturday, you can re-write this mathematically:
Substitute.
The percent decrease in shots you made was 20%. That would be option C.
Answer in fraction form: x = 55/4
Answer in decimal form: x = 13.75
Both forms are equivalent, but they say it in a slightly different way.
===========================================================
Work Shown:
AC/QY = CD/YW
(x+5)/15 = 5/4
4(x+5) = 15*5
4x+20 = 75
4x = 75-20
4x = 55
x = 55/4
x = 13.75
------------
Explanations:
- The first step is possible because the polygons are similar. Similar figures have their corresponding sides be in the same proportion or ratio. Note how side AC has the double red angle (at point A) and a single red angle (point C). The side QY has the same idea in the same order. This is why AC corresponds to QY. The ratio AC/QY is the same as CD/YW.
- In the second step, I plugged in the expressions that the diagram shows. This is the substitution property.
- On step 3, I cross multiplied. The general format is A/B = C/D cross multiplies to A*D = B*C.
(40×5)+(2×5) so 40×5=200 and 2×5=10 so 200+10=210
Answer:
Total trade discount on 30 boxes = $201.555
Step-by-step explanation:
1 box = $14.93
And a trade discount of 45% is allowed on a single box,
Therefore, the discount on one $14.93 box will be
45% × $14.93 = $6.7185
So, if there are now 30 boxes, the trade discount on all 30 boxes will be
30 × (trade discount on one box) = 30 × ($6.7185) = $201.555
Hope this helps!

10% off of 10,000 is 9,000
10% more than 9,000 is 9,900
