Answer:

The percent decrease is approximately 10.75\%

(Don't know what you are expected to round to.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent change can be calculated by doing:

\frac{\text{original}-\text{new}}{\text{original}}

Then you multiply the result to covert it to a percentage.

Let's use this formula:

\frac{5831 \text{thousand}-5204 \text{ thousand }}{5831 \text{thousand}}

\frac{\text{thousand}}{\text{thousand}} \cdot \frac{5831-5204}{5831}

\frac{5831-5204}{5831}

\frac{627}{5831}

0.1075 approximately

Now the answer as a percent is 10.75\% approximately.

The percent decrease is approximately 10.75\%

Anika [276]

Answer:

The drama club bought 35 t-shirt

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

t-shirt = x

Sweatshirt = y

Total cost = $795

They purchase 20 more tshirts than sweatshirts

x = y + 20

The equation is:

12x + 25y = 795

12(y + 20) + 25y = 795

12y + 240 + 25y = 795

37y = 795 - 240

37y = 555

y = 15

Substitute y = 15 into

x = y + 20

x = 15 + 20

x = 35

t-shirt = 35

Sweatshirt = 15

The drama club bought 35 t-shirt

Alina [70]

The maximum possible area would have a length of 24 feet and width of 12 feet.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on other variables while a dependent variable is a variable that depends on other variables.

Let x represent the length and y represent the width, hence:

Since beth has 48 ft fencing and cover 3 sides, hence:

x + 2y = 48  

x = 48 - 2y     (1)

Also:

Area (A) = xy

A = (48 - 2y)y

A = 48y - 2y²

The maximum area is at A' = 0, hence:

A' = 48 - 4y

48 - 4y = 0

y = 12 feet

x = 48 - 2(12) = 24

The maximum possible area would have a length of 24 feet and width of 12 feet.
