Answer:

50% ( rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent)

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to find the percentage decrease in the price of the bottle of water.

To do this, what we do is that we subtract the new price from the old price, then we divide the result by the old price and multiply the result by 100.

Mathematically,

Percentage decrease in price = (old price- new price)/old price * 100%

Percentage decrease in price= (2.65-1.4)/2.65 * 100%

1.25/2.65 * 100% = 47.2%

We were asked to round to the nearest tenth of a percent. This brings our answer to 50%

Answer:

47.2 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial price, P1 = 2.65

Final price, P2 = 1.40

% price decrease = change in price/initial price × 100

Change in price = P1 - P2

= 2.65 - 1.40

= 1.25

% decrease = 1.25/2.65 × 100

= 47.2 %

Marrrta [24]

Using proportions, it is found that there is a 0.54 = 54% probability that a randomly selected household owns a cat.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of total amount.

In this problem, the proportions associated with owning a cat are given by:

  • 70% of 60%(also have a dog).
  • 30% of 40%(do not have a dog).

Hence:

p = 0.7(0.6) + 0.3(0.4) = 0.42 + 0.12 = 0.54.

0.54 = 54% probability that a randomly selected household owns a cat.

Parallelogram ABCD is rotated to create image A'B'C'D'. On a coordinate plane, 2 parallelograms are shown. The first parallelogr
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

(x,y)→(y,-x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelogram ABCD:

A(2,5)

B(5,4)

C(5,2)

D(2,3)

Parallelogram A'B'C'D':

A'(5,-4)

B'(4,-5)

C'(2,-5)

D'(3,-2)

Rule:

A(2,5)→A'(5,-2)

B(5,4)→B'(4,-5)

C(5,2)→C'(2,-5)

D(2,3)→D'(3,-2)

so the rule is

(x,y)→(y,-x)
