Answer:
D. -17%
Step-by-step explanation:
The change from March to April is (April - March) = (100 -120) = -20. As a fraction of the March bill, that is ...
-20/120 = -1/6
As a percentage, that change is ...
-1/6 × 100% ≈ -16.667% ≈ -17%
The electric bill changed by about -17% from March to April.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Water went up 4%; groceries went up about 14%, and restaurant changed by -15%.
The percentage change is found by ...
% change = ((new amount)/(original amount) -1) × 100%
Above, we have rearranged this to ...
% change = ((new amount) -(original amount))/(original amount) × 100%
<u>Answer:
</u>
Expression x + 2my + z represents cost of order where x, y, z are cost of small , medium and large drinks (in dollars) respectively.
<u>Solution:
</u>
Given that
Juan’s family ordered a small drink and m medium drinks.
Alex family ordered m medium drinks and a large drink.
Need to write an algebraic expression which shows total cost of both order in dollars.
Let’s assume cost of one small drink = x
And assume cost of one medium drink = y
And assume cost of one large drink = z
So now cost of order of Juan’s family is equal to cost of 1 small drink + cost of m medium drinks = 1
x + m
y
= x + my
And cost of order of Alex family is equal to cost of m medium drinks + cost of one large drink
= m x y + 1 x z
=my + z
So total cost of both order in dollars = x + my + my + z = x + 2my + z
Hence expression x + 2my + z represents cost of order where x , y , z are cost of small , medium and large drinks (in dollars) respectively.

-5w-6=2w
-5w-2w=6
-7w=6
w = -6/7
