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 %

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 114. what is the smallest of the three numbers?​
saul85 [17]

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's let n be any number.

If we multiply n by 2, we get 2n. Since anything multiplied by 2 is even, 2n <em>must</em> be even. Therefore, let 2n be our first number.

So, the consecutive even number will be (2n+2) followed by (2n+4).

We know that their sum must be 114. Therefore, we can write the following equation:

(2n)+(2n+2)+(2n+4)=114

Solve for n. Combine like terms on the left:

6n+6=114

Subtract 6 from both sides:

6n=108

Finally, divide both sides by 6. Therefore, the value of n is:

n=108/6=18

Therefore, our first even number is 2n or 2(18) which equates to 36.

And the consecutive even numbers will be 38 and 40.

So, the smallest of them, the first term, is 36.

If the 13th and 38th terms of an arithmetic sequence are -53 and -128,
love history [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  -2018

Step-by-step explanation:

The n-th term is ...

  an = a1 +d(n -1)

So, the given terms are ...

  -53 = a1 +12d

  -128 = a1 +37d

Subtracting the first from the second gives ...

  (a1 +37d) -(a1 +12d) = (-128) -(-53)

  25d = -75

  d = -3

The 668th term will be ...

  a668 = a1 +d(668 -1) = a1 +667d = (a1 +37d) +630d

  a668 = -128 +630(-3) = -128 -1890 . . . . substitute for a38

  a668 = -2018
