Yesterday's price of notebook = $3.45
Today's price of notebook = $3.20
We have to determine the percentage decrease in the cost of notebook.
Percentage decrease = (Decrease Old price)
So, percentage decrease =
=
= 7.246%
= 7.25%
Therefore, there is 7.25% of decrease in the cost of the notebook.
Answer:
11.4
Step-by-step explanation:
So we know that Triangle ACB is similar to Triangle EFD.
This means that their sides are proportional to each other.
We want to find x or side AB. To do so, we can set up a proportion.
The proportional side to AB is ED. Let's also use BC since we know its value. The proportional side to BC is DF. Thus:
Substitute x for AB, 3.8 for Ed, 15 for BC, and 5 for DF. Thus:
Reduce the right:
Cross multiply:
So, the value of x is 11.4
And we're done!
