Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the initial value of the stock at the beginning of 2006. And y the value at the end of 2006.

When it went up by 25% in 2006;

y = x + 25% of x = x + 0.25x = 1.25x

For the value to go back to the original price, it has to decrease from y to x;

y = 1.25x

The percentage decrease from y to x is;

= (y-x)/y × 100%

Substituting the values;

= (1.25x -x)/1.25x × 100%

= 0.25x/1.25x × 100%

= 0.2 × 100%

= 20%

Therefore, it will have to go down 20%

docker41 [41]

Area of wooden support is 36 square inches

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, carpenter cut out a small trapezoid as a wooden support for the front step

<em><u>The area of trapezoid is given as:</u></em>

area = \frac{a+b}{2} \times h

Where, "h" is the height

"a" and 'b" are the length of base

Here given that,

Height = h = 4 inches

a = 6 inches

b = 12 inches

Substituting the values we get,

area = \frac{6+12}{2} \times 4\\\\area = 18 \times 2\\\\area = 36

Thus area of wooden support is 36 square inches

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

\Huge \boxed{{x=15\°}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles on a straight line add up to 180 degrees.

We can create an equation.

x + 165 = 180

Solve for x.

Subtract 165 from both sides.

x + 165 - 165 = 180 - 165

Simplify the equation.

x = 15
