6.4% decrease is the correct answer 
FromTheMoon [43]3 years ago
3 0
Convert the dollar amounts to cents to make the math easier.

$2.20 = 220¢
$2.35 = 235¢

The original price is 100%
The new price is x%

220/235 ≈ <span>0.93
</span>
Convert decimal into a percent by moving the decimal two places to the right and adding the % sign.

0.93 = 93%

100% - 93% = 7%

So, there was a 7% decrease in price.

You buy a total of 25 burgers and tacos for $67.50. The burgers cost $3.50 each and the tacos cost $2.25 each. Find the number o
Ahat [919]

Answer: you bought 9 burgers and 16 tacos

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of burgers that you bought.

Let y represent the number of tacos that you bought.

You buy a total of 25 burgers and tacos. It means that

x + y = 25

The burgers cost $3.50 each and the tacos cost $2.25 each. The total cost of the burgers and tacos that you bought is $67.50. It means that

3.5x + 2.25y = 67.5- - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 25 - y into 1, it becomes

3.5(25 - y) + 2.25y = 67.5

87.5 - 3.5y + 2.25y = 67.5

- 3.5y + 2.25y = 67.5 - 87.5

- 1.25y = - 20

y = - 20/ - 1.25

y = 16

x = 25 - y = 25 - 16

x = 9

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

so principal amount is $7862.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

rate = 7*1/4 % = 29/4 %

interest = $190

time = 4 months = 4/12 year

to find out

principal

solution

we know the simple interest formula  i.e.

interest = ( principal × rate  × time ) /100             ..................1

now put all value rate time and interest in equation 1 we get interest here

interest = ( principal × rate  × time ) /100  

190 =  ( principal × 29/4  × 4/12 ) /100  

principal = 190 × 12  ×100 /   29

principal = 7862.068966

so principal amount is $7862.07
