What is the percent from 39 to 17

Mathematics
1 answer:
AlladinOne [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: 56.4102564% decrease

Explanation: First determine whether the number is increasing or decreasing. Since it changes from 39 to 17, it's going down so it's decreasing.

Now to find the percent decrease,

we divide the amount of change by the original number.

The amount of change is the difference between the two numbers

which in this case is 39 - 17 and the original number is 39.

So we have \frac{39 - 17}{39}

39 - 17 is 22 so we're left with \frac{22}{39} which gives us 56.4102564

Remember however that our problem is asking for a <em>percent</em>, not a decimal. So we need to write 56.4102564 as a percent by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right to get 56.4102564.

So when a number changes from 39 to 17, it has decreased by 56.4102564%.

A cell phone that regular costs $780 is on sale for 15% off. What is the total cost of the phone if you have to pay 5.5% sales t
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

$700

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

Regular cost of cell phone= $780

discount = 15%

tax = 5.5%

Step two

Let us compute the discounted amount

= 15/100*780

=0.15*780

=$117

hence the selling price is

=780-117

=$663

Also, the tax-deductible is

=5.5/100*663

=0.055*663

=$36.465

The total cost of the phone will be

=663+36.465

=699.465

=$700 to the nearest cent
