In February, Alec had 1,525 visitors to his website. In March, he had 1,385 visitors to his website. What is the percentage decr
ease of the number of visitors to Alec's website from February to March?
1 answer:
A proportion box can be used to solve this problem. First, we need to compute the difference or change in the original amount of visitors Alec had (in February) and the new amount of visitors (in March).
1,525 - 1, 385 = 140
We place this amount (140) in the top left of our box, and we place the original amount (1,525) in the bottom left of our box. We are looking for the percentage decrease, so that box in the upper right will stay empty. The number 100 always goes in the bottom right of our percent proportion box.
(The attached image will show an example of how to set this up).
Our last step is to cross multiply and divide.
140 x 100 = 14,000
14,000 ÷ 1,525 = 9.18
So, the percentage decrease of the number of visitors to Alec's website from February to March was 9.18%.
1,525 - 1, 385 = 140
We place this amount (140) in the top left of our box, and we place the original amount (1,525) in the bottom left of our box. We are looking for the percentage decrease, so that box in the upper right will stay empty. The number 100 always goes in the bottom right of our percent proportion box.

Our last step is to cross multiply and divide.
140 x 100 = 14,000
14,000 ÷ 1,525 = 9.18
So, the percentage decrease of the number of visitors to Alec's website from February to March was 9.18%.

This solution to this problem is predicated on the fact that the circumference is just: . A straight line going through the center of the garden would actually be the diameter, which is well known to be two times the radius of the circle, so we can say that the circumference is just:
So, solving for both the radius and the diameter gives us:
So, the length of thes traight path that goes through the center of the guardain is just , and we can use the radius for the next part of the problem.
The area of a circle is , which means we can just plug in the radius and find our area:
So, we have found our area() and the problem is done.
Answer:
type 2 in the first box,
13/4 in the second box, and
-9/8 in the third one
Step-by-step explanation:Notice that you are asked to write the following quadratic expression in vertex form, so you need to find the "x" value of the vertex, and then the "y" value of the vertex:
Which in our case is: -13/4
and the value of the y for the vertex is obtained using the functional expression when x equals -13/4:
Then your expression for this quadratic should be:
Then type 2 in the first box, 13/4 in the second box, and -9/8 in the third one
