Answer:

£210

Step-by-step explanation:

A decrease of 30% represents 70% of the original cost.

100% represents the original cost

Divide the price by 70 to find 1% then multiply by 100 for original cost

original cost = $\frac{147}{70}$ × 100 = 2.1 × 100 = £210

Cheryl paid $37.20 for 12 gallons of ice cream for a school picnic. How much would 1 quart of ice cream cost?

Stells [14]

First, you need to get to one gallon, which is 37.20 divided by 12. (3.1)
Divide that number by four, which is: 0.775, or 0.78 rounded up to the nearest hundredth.
Hope that helped.

A typical middle-income household in 1980 earned $34,757. A similar household in 2009 earned $38,550. What was the relative incr

S_A_V [24]

Given conditions are :

In 1980's, a typical middle-income household earned= $34,757

In 2009, a similar middle-income household earned= $38,550

And we have to find relative increase in income for these households from 1980 to 2009.

So first we will find the total increase in amounts.

$38550-34757=3793$

Relative increase = $\frac{3793}{34757}*100$

= 10.91% or rounding it off we get approx 11%.

Hence, the answer is 11%.
