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 %

Suppose that a large pumpkin empty a swimming pool in 40 hours and that a small pumpkin empty a pool and 70 hours working togeth
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Total 25.45 hours will be taken to empty the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by large pumpkin to empty the pool=40 hours

Time taken by the smaller pumpkins to empty the pool=70 hours

Amount of pool emptied by large pumpkin in one hour=\frac{1}{40}

Amount of pool emptied by small pumpkin in one hour=\frac{1}{70}

Amount of pool emptied in one hour if both pumpkins work together=

\frac{1}{40}+ \frac{1}{70}

=\frac{11}{280}

Therefore, the no. of days will be the reciprocal of the amount of work done in one hour ie . \frac{280}{11}

Total 25.45 hours will be taken to empty the pool.
