<span>Last
year, Shantell bought a car for 24 000 dollars. It decreases to 21 000 dollars
this current year.
Let’s find for the percentage that it decreased.
=> in 24 000 the 50% is 12 000 as we all know since it’s divided by 2. So
meaning, the possible answer is less than 50%.
=> now 25% of 24 000 is 6 000, and the amount that we’re looking is 3000,
thus, the answer is 12.5%
=> 24 000 * 0.125 = 3000
=> 24 000 – 3000 = 21 000</span>
First one is y=4x and the second one is y=2x
Answer:
a=12
Step-by-step explanation:
If you solve for x, you divide by (a-12) to isolate x on the left side:
x = (a+8)/(a-12)
If the numerator is 0 you will be dividing by zero, which invalidates the solution. This will happen for a=12.
Answer:
5.2 x 10^-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Scientific notation is used to simplify very large or very small numbers.
The formula for scientific notation is (a x 10^ n)
(a) is a number that is both greater than 1 and less than 10
(n) is the number of places the decimal place moves. This number can be positive or negative depending on the number you are converting. If the original number is greater than 1 (n) will be positive, and if the number is less than 1 (n) will be negative.
First you should write out the number.
0.052
Then, you should determine the number places the decimal point must move, and create a number greater than 1 and less than 10. (You should also pay attention to the direction the decimal point moves)
For this problem you will move the decimal place 2 places to the right to create the number 5.2.
Last, substitute the values into the formula. For this problem (a)= 5.2 and (n)= -2. This gives us the expression 5.2 x 10^-2.
