You need to find what percentage the difference is of 72.

First, subtract 60 from 72:

72-60=8

Next, divide 8 by 72:

8/72=0.1111

To convert this decimal to a percentage, multiply it by 100:

100*0.1111=11.11

The percent decrease is 11.11%.

Hope this helps!!

adoni [48]

Answer:

The answer in simplest term is 35.33333334.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to divide 71 and 6.

71/6 = 23.66666667.

Now we need to divide 35 and 6.

35/6 = 11.66666667.

And that is the final answer.

I hope this helps!

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

$\$5,828.28$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The compound interest formula is equal to

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have

$t=5\ years\\ P=\$4,900\\ r=0.035\\n=2$

substitute in the formula above

$A=\$4,900(1+\frac{0.035}{2})^{2*5}$

$A=\$4,900(1.0175)^{10}=\$5,828.28$
