Answer:
Percent decrease = 10.43% (Approx)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Old price = $1.15 million
New price = $1.03 million
Find:
Percent decrease
Computation:
Percent decrease = [(Old price - new price)/Old price]100
Percent decrease = [($1.15 million - $1.03 million)/$1.15 million]100
Percent decrease = [($0.12 million)/$1.15 million]100
Percent decrease = 10.43% (Approx)
Since Mitchell will be making 50% more coffee than usual, we need to multiply 100 grams of coffee by 1.5, giving us 150 grams of coffee. But because we need to use 20% more coffee grounds, multiply 150 by .2 and add that amount to 150. So the answer is 180 grams of coffee.
Multiply the first equation by 2:-
2y + 4.6 = 0.90x
2y - 0.90x = -4.6
second equation is
-2y - 4.2x = -7.8
Adding:-
-5.1x = -12.4
x = 2.4
-2y = -7.8 + 4.2(2.4) = 2.3
x = -1.2
Answer x = 2.4 and y = -1.2
