The percent of change = ((new value - old value) / old value) × 100%

Our new value = $261.50

Our old value = $382

Plug our values into the equation above.

(($261.50 - $382) / $382) × 100% = -31.54%

Answer:

31.55%

Step-by-step explanation:

$382 .............. 100%

$261.50 ..............x%

x = 261.50×100/382

= 26150/382

= 68.45%

100% - 68.45% = 31.55%

Small notebooks cost $3.50 and large notebooks cost $5.00. She needs to buy 31 notebooks, and she has $134 to spend. How many sm

Darina [25.2K]

Let's assume

number of small notebooks =x

number of large notebooks =y

we are given

total number of notebooks =31

so, we get

$x+y=31$

now, we can solve for y

$y=31-x$

we have

Small notebooks cost $3.50 and large notebooks cost $5.00

she has $134 to spend

so, we get

$3.50x+5y=134$

now, we can plug y

$3.50x+5(31-x)=134$

$3.50x+5*31-5x=134$

$-1.5x+155=134$

$-1.5x+155-155=134-155$

$x=14$

now, we can find y

$y=31-14$

$y=17$

so,

number of small notebooks is 14

number of large notebooks is 17.............Answer

What are the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = 2x2 – 10x – 3?

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

$x = \frac{ 5 \ + \ \sqrt{31}}{2} \ , \ x = \frac{ 5 \ - \ \sqrt{31}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x^2 - 10x - 3 = 0 \\\\a = 2 \ , b = - 10 \ , \ c = - 3 \\\\x = \frac{-b^2\ \pm \ \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{10 \ \pm \sqrt{(-10)^2 - ( 4 \times 2 \times -3)} }{2 \times 2}\\\\x = \frac{10 \ \pm \sqrt{(100 - ( -24 )} }{4}\\\\x = \frac{10 \ \pm \sqrt{(100 + 24 } }{4}\\\\x = \frac{ 10 \ \pm \sqrt{124}}{4}\\\\x = \frac{ 10 \ \pm \sqrt{4 \times 31}}{4}\\\\x = \frac{ 10 \ \pm \sqrt{2^2 \times 31}}{4}\\\\x = \frac{ 10 \ \pm2 \sqrt{31}}{4}\\\\x = \frac{ 5 \ \pm\sqrt{31}}{2}\\\\$

$x = \frac{ 5 \ + \ \sqrt{31}}{2} \ , \ x = \frac{ 5 \ - \ \sqrt{31}}{2}$
