8.54 / 8.75 =0.975

1 - 0.975 = 0.025

Answer:

2.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the formula for percentage change (Mathisfun)

\displaystyle \rm \text{Percentage Change} = \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Old Value}}{\text{Old Value}}\times 100\%.

Note that the old value shall be the one on the denominator.

For this question:

\displaystyle \rm \begin{aligned}\text{Percentage Change} &= \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Old Value}}{\text{Old Value}}\times 100\%\\ &= \frac{8.75 - 8.54}{8.75}\times 100\%\\&= -2.4\%\end{aligned}.

The value here is negative, but don't be alerted. A positive value of change indicates an increase, while a negative value of change indicates a decrease. In other words, the stock price dropped by 2.4%.

There are 11 trains containing giraffes and 7 trains containing rabbits.

<h3>Equation</h3>

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the number of train with giraffes and y represent the number of train with rabbits.

Hence:

25x = 40y

25x - 40y = 0    (1)

Also:

25x + 40y > 500   (2)

From both equations:

A possible solution is x = 11, y = 7

There are 11 trains containing giraffes and 7 trains containing rabbits.
