The order you apply the adjustments does make a difference because the percents that are applied will be applied to different amount.  

For example, 80% of 100 = $80.  The price would be $180.

Decreasing this by 25% 25% of 180 = $45; 180-45 = $135.  

25% of 100 is not the same as 25% of 180.

Answer:

(15, 8, 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y + z = 14 → (1)

y + z = 15 → (2)

z = 7 ← value of z is given

Substitute z = 7 into (2)

y + 7 = 15 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

y = 8

Substitute y = 8, z = 7 into (1)

x - 8 + 7 = 14

x - 1 = 14 ( add 1 to both sides )

x = 15

solution is (15, 8, 7 )

A gravel company sells gravel by the cubic yard and charges a flat delivery fee. The table shows the total cost C based on the a
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

<h2>$60.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost for 0 cubic yards of gravel refers to the y-intercept of the function.

First, we find the constant ratio of change

r=\frac{284-124}{7-2}=\frac{160}{5}=32

The constant ratio of change is 32, that means the cost per cubic yard of gravel is $32.

Now, we just subtract this ratio twice to find the relations until we have x = 0.

124 -32= 92

So, for 1 cubic yard, the cost is $92.

92-32=60

For 0 cubic yards, the cost is $60, that's the y-intercept or the initial condition.

Therefore, the answer is $60.

Answer:$259

Step-by-step explanation:

since we need to increase $250 by 6%, it is useful to find one percent because 1% is easy to find

to find one percent of 250, we move the decimal point(we cant see it right now) from after the number to after 2 giving us 2.50. we need to do this to find one percent because 1% is the same as one HUNDREDth, and since 100 has two zeros, we move the decimal place two spaces.now that we know that 1% is $2.50 ( which is the same as $2.5) we can times that by six which gives us 6%(because one times 6 is 6) to multiply 2.5 by 6, we first multiply 6 by 2 which will give us 12 and then multiply it by 0.5 (because 2 + 0.5 =2.5) 0.5 multiplied by 6 is equal to 3 and 3 + 6 = 9. we know know that 6% of $250 is $9. we now just add 9 to 250 leaving us with $259
