The original price we'll pretend it is 100.

A decrease of 12% would get us 88.

Another decrease of 5% would be 88 - (88<span>×0.05) = 83.6

So the decrease would be 100-83.6=16.4

The answer is 16.4</span>

Find the length of WR<br><br>If M &lt;WCR = 49 and CR = 7. What is WR
UkoKoshka [18]
We know that
if ∠WCR=49°
then 
measure arc WR=49°-------> by central angle

circumference C=2*pi*r
for r=7 in
C=2*pi*7-----> 43.96 in

if 360°(full circle) has a length of----------> 43.96 in
 49°---------------> x
x=49*43.96/360-----> x=5.98 in

alternative method 
applying the formula
L=(∅/360°)*2*pi*r
where
∅ is the angle in degrees
r is the radius
L=(49°/360°)*2*pi*7------> L=5.98 in

the answer is
5.98 in
