Answer:
The percentage decrease is 27%
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percent decrease, first find the difference in the two costs.
$205,000 - $149,650 = $55,350
Now divide that number by the original cost.
$55,350/$205,000 = 27%
Let
x--------> <span>the speed of the boat in mph
we know that
</span>going upstream the speed is x-7
<span>going downstream the speed is x+7
</span>
let the distance be d
<span>time to go upstream = d/(x-7) </span>
<span>time to go downstream = d/(x+7)
</span>
time going upstream is 3 times going downstream
so
<span>3d/(x+7) = d/(x-7) </span>
<span>divide by d </span>
<span>3/(x+7) = 1/(x-7) </span>
<span>3x-21 = x+7 </span>
<span>2x = 28 </span>
<span>x = 14
</span>
the answer is
<span>the speed of the boat in still water is 14 mph</span>
