Answer:the percentage decrease is 36.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial amount of sugar in his diet is 15 spoons in a day. Currently, the amount of sugar in his diet is 9 1/2 spoons in a day. Converting to decimal, it becomes 9.5 spoon in a day. The amount by which he reduced his sugar intake is 15 - 9.5 = 5.5 spoons.

Percentage decrease would be expressed as

Amount by which the intake decreased/ initial intake × 100

It becomes

5.5/15 × 100 = 36.67%

Answer: he purchased 16 ride tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of ride tickets that he purchased.

Let y represent the number of game tickets that he purchased.

Levi purchased a total of 50 ride tickets and game tickets at the amusement park. It means that

x + y = 50

If ride tickets cost $.75 each and game tickets cost $.50 each and the total amount spent on the tickets is $29, it means that

0.75x + 0.5y = 29- - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 50 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.75(50 - y) + 0.5y = 29

37.5 - 0.75y + 0.5y = 29

- 0.75y + 0.5y = 29 - 37.5

- 0.25y = - 8.5

y = - 8.5/-0.25

y = 34

x = 50 - y = 50 - 34

x = 16

Solve the triangle.<br><br> a = 10, b = 23, C = 95°
gayaneshka [121]
C² = a² + b² - (2ab * cosC) 
<span>c² = 10² + 23² - (2 * 10 * 23 * cos95) </span>
<span>c² = 100 + 529 - (460 * -.08715) </span>
<span>c² = 629 - (-40.1) </span>
<span>c² = 669.1 </span>
<span>c = 25.87 </span>

<span>(Sin C) / C = (Sin A) / A </span>
<span>(Sin 95) / 25.87 = SinA / 10, Remember 0 < A < 85 </span>
<span>(10 * Sin95) / 25.87 = Sin A </span>
<span>A = arcsin ((10 * sin95) / 25.87) </span>
<span>A = 22.65º </span>

<span>B = 180 - A - C </span>
<span>B = 180 - 95 - 22.65 </span>
<span>B = 62.35º </span>

<span>I hope this helps. Have a good day.</span>
