Answer: The percent of people who were interested in black holes last year was 70%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • People interested in black holes this year: 62%

If the number is down from the previous year by 8%, to calculate the percent of people who were interested last year we simply have to add the 8% loss to the actual 62 %.

So, mathematically speaking:

  • 62%+8%=70%

In conclusion, the percent of people who were interested in black holes last year was 70%.

Feel free to ask for more if it´s necessary or if you did not understand something.

The price of a laptop computer decreased from 475 to 275. What is the percent of decrease in price
anyanavicka [17]
First find the difference in prices...

475 - 275 = 200 so the price went down 200 dollars. No we need to find what percentage of 475 is 200.

475 × x = 200
x = 200/475
x = .4211

Now convert to percentage by multiplying by 100 (move decimal 2 places to the right)

.4211 = 42.11%

It is a 42.11% price reduction.

What are the ordered pairs of the solutions for this system of equations? f(x)=x2-2x+3; f(x)=-2x+28
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: (5,18); (-5,38)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-2x+3=-2x+28

x^2-25=0

(x-5)(x+5)= 0

-2(5)+28= 18

-2(-5)+28=38

(5,18)(-5,38)
