What is the final amount of 777 is decreased by 12% followed by a 4% increase? Give your answer rounded to 2dp.

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

711.11

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Method 1 </h3>

If 777 is decreased by 12%. the number would now be (100% - 12%) 88% of what it was originally

0.88 x 777 = 683.76

683.76 is increased by 4%. 683.76 would now be (100 + 4%) 104% of what it originally was

683.76 x 1.04 = 711.11

<h3>Method 2 </h3>

12% x 777 =

0.12 x 777 = 93.24

777 - 93.24 = 683.76

4% x 683.76 = 27.3504

683.76 + 27.3504 = 711.11

A fruit stand sells apples, peaches and tomatoes. Today, they sold 4 apples for every 5 peaches. They sold 2 peaches for every 3

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

He sold 32 apples, 40 peaches and 60 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

4 apples are sold every 5 peaches and

3 tomatoes are sold every 2 peaches.

i.e. the ratio is apples: peaches = 4 : 5 ...... (1)

and the ratio peaches: tomatoes = 2 : 3 ...... (2)

Peaches are the common link here in both the ratio terms.

Let us make the peaches value in both the <em>ratio as 10 </em>to make it equal in both the ratio terms.

Multiply (1) by 2 and (2) by 5:

The ratio becomes;

apples:peaches = 8:10

peaches: tomatoes = 10:15

In other words, the ratio becomes:

apples:peaches:tomatoes = 8:10:15

Let the number of apples = $8x$

Let the number of peaches = $10x\\$

Let the number of tomatoes = $15x$

We are given that total fruits are = 132

$\Rightarrow 8x+10x+15x = 132\\\Rightarrow 33x = 132\\\Rightarrow x =4\\$

So, number of apples sold = $8 \times 4 = 32$

Number of peaches sold = $10 \times 4 = 40$

Number of tomatoes sold = $15 \times 4 = 60$

Factor the expression.<br> 9y^2– 36

Nata [24]

Answer:

Answer: 9 (y - 2) (y + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

9 y^2 - 36

Factor 9 out of 9 y^2 - 36:

9 (y^2 - 4)

y^2 - 4 = y^2 - 2^2:

9 (y^2 - 2^2)

Factor the difference of two squares. y^2 - 2^2 = (y - 2) (y + 2):

Answer: 9 (y - 2) (y + 2)
