I think it is .1324 but I need a little more details.
Answer: A. divided the difference of the two quantities by the sum of the two quantities.
===================================================
Explanation:
The difference of the quantities is 20-15 = 5
The sum of the quantities is 20+15 = 35
Dividing those results leads to 5/35 = 0.142857 which rounds to 0.1429
That converts to 14.29%
This is likely the path Adam took. This path is incorrect. The correct steps are shown below
---------------------
Difference = 20-15 = 5
Divide the difference over the original quantity
5/20 = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
We have a 25% decrease because the new quantity (15) is smaller than the old quantity (20)
----------------------
Here's another way to approach the problem
A = old value = 20
B = new value = 15
C = percent change
C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%
C = [ (15-20)/20 ] * 100%
C = (-5/20)*100%
C = -0.25*100%
C = -25%
The negative C value means we have a negative percent change, ie we have a percent decrease. So this is another way to get a 25% decrease.
Answer: y = 4
explanation:
y = 1/3(-3) + 5
y = (-3)/3 + 5
y = -1 + 5
y = 4
The expanded form for that problem would be (7x10^5) + (2 × 10^4) + (8x10^1)
when i put ^then a number i mean to that power like 2 to the 4th power i would write 2^4
Answer:
She will not meet her goal.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 5 weekdays, so she will run for 0.5 * 5 = 2.5 hours over the weekdays
There are 2 weekends, so she will run for 2 * 1 = 2 hours over the weekend.
In total, this means she will run for 4.5 hours.
4.5 hours * 550 calories per hour = 2475 calories.
She will not meet her goal.
