Answer:
≈ 13.98%
Step-by-step explanation:
As the total population is 5769 in the initial period, you must find the percentage that repesents 4963 that is the expected population.
4963/5769=0.8602
Then you multiply it by 100 to transform it into percentage
0.8602*100=86.02%
Then it's just necesary to subtract that from 100% and that numbers is the percentage of decrease
100% - 86.02% = 13.98%
Also you can say that is approximately 14%
Take the original price, multiply it by 20% (you have to move the decimal place two to the left, so it becomes .2), then subtract the answer from the original price.
39.99*.2= $7.998
39.99-7.998= $31.99
If you wanted to, you could also round the $7.998 to $8.00. Your answer would be the same.
P = the original price of the ticket.
Let x = the discounted price.
The discounted price IS $12.95 less than the original price. Therefore
x = p - 12.95
Add 12.95 to each side.
p = x + 12.95
Answer:
The equation is
p = x + 12.95
where
p = original price
x = discounted price
