If $3.53 is 100% then 3.05 is 86.5%
100%–86.4% is a 13.6% decrease in price

The percent change in the cost of a gallon of gas is 13.59 %

<u>Solution:</u>

We have been given the data of cost of Gas in two months these are May and September

The cost of Gas in month of may is $3.53 per gallon

The cost of Gas in month of September is $3.05 per gallon

We have to determine the percentage change in the cost of gas

Difference in cost of gas = 3.53 – 3.05= 0.48

\% \text { change in cost of gas }=\frac{\text { Difference in cost of gas }}{\text { original price }} \times 100

\% \text { change in cost of gas }=\frac{0.48}{3.53} \times 100

% change in cost of gas = 13.59 %

So, the price of the Gas was decreased by 13.59% from may to september

Which equation represents the perpendicular bisector of the given line segment?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Option D. x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the midpoint of the given line segment

we know that

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

M=(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})

we have

A(5,10),B(15,10)

substitute the values

M=(\frac{5+15}{2},\frac{10+10}{2})

M=(10,10)

step 2

Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector

we know that

The equation of a perpendicular bisector is equal to the x-coordinate of the midpoint, because is a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)

therefore

the equation is equal to

x=10
