Percent decrease=decrease/original times 100
decrease=23.5-21.2=2.3
original=23.5

percent decrease=2.3/23.5 times 100=0.0978 times 100=9.8%

Answer: B. 9.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to use proportions

since 23.5 is the 100% = 23.5 inches /100 %

For 21.2 inches =21.2inches /x%

23.5/100 =21.2/x

Solving for x:

x = 21.2 / (23.5/100)

x = 90.2%

21.1 inches are 90.2% of 23.5 inches.

So, the percent decrease is:

100% - 90.21 % = 9.8 %

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Write y=-3x^2+12x-21 in vertex form
riadik2000 [5.3K]
Complete the square: 
<span>y = 3x^2 - 12x + 4 </span>
<span>y = 3(x^2 - 4x) + 4 </span>
<span>y = 3(x^2 - 4x + 4 - 4) + 4 </span>
<span>y = 3(x^2 - 4x + 4) - 12 + 4 </span>
<span>y = 3(x - 2)^2 - 8</span>
