<h2>Steps</h2>
So here are a couple expressions when a value changes by percentage (p = percentage in decimal form and m = original value):
- When <em>decrease</em>: (1 - p)m
- When <em>increase</em>: (1 + p)m
So firstly, the $80 share dropped by 15%. Since this is a <em>decrease</em>, follow the appropriate expression:
<em>On Tuesday, the share went from $80 to $68</em>
Next, on Wednesday the share increased by $7. With this, just add $68 and 7.
<em>On Wednesday, the share went from $68 to $75</em>
Lastly, on Thursday the share increased by 12%. Since this is an <em>increase</em>, follow the appropriate expression:
<h2>Answer</h2>
<u>The final price of the share is $84.</u>
Answer:
1) x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
1) x + 7 + x + 11 = 14
2x + 18 = 14
2x = 14 - 18
2x = -4
x = -4/2 = -2
Answer:

Answer:
Her average speed is 94 km/h
Time taken is 3.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Evan’s average speed be x km/h.
now since Meghan drove faster, according to the question, we can say her average speed would be x + 6 km/h
Mathematically, time = distance/speed
so; since time is the same; we have
308/x = 329/(x + 6)
cross multiply
329(x) = 308(x + 6)
329x = 308x + 1848
329x-308x = 1848
21x = 1848
x = 1848/21
x = 88 km/h
Meghan average speed = x + 6 = 88 + 6 = 94 km/h
Time taken would be 329/94 = 3.5 hours
