Decrease = initial price - final price

% decrease = [ (initial price - final price)  / initial price ] *100

% decrease =[ (2.89 - 2.83) / 2.89] * 100 =  2.08, which can be rounded to 2.1

Answer: 2.1 %

2.83 to 2.89's percentage of decrease is....
   this is how you calculate this. You first use 2.89 minus 2.83. The answer is 0.06. Then use 0.06 to divide with 2.89. The anser is 0.020.For it to turn into a percentage number, times 0.020 with a hundred. And the answer is 2. So it is a 2 percent decrease. I didn't know how to round it though.

The sum of 4 consecutive numbers is equal to the sum of the next 3 consecutive numbers. Find the largest number.​
timurjin [86]

Answer:

The answer is: The largest number is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = the number

n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) + (n + 3) = (n + 4) + (n + 5) + (n + 6)

4n + 6 = 3n + 15

n = 9

Proof:

9 + 10 + 11 + 12 = 19 + 23 = 42

13 + 14 + 15 = 27 + 15 = 42

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!!  :-)
