Answer:
3.5% decrease means 96.5% remaining
0.965(16)
4.25% decrease means 95.75% remaining
0.9575(0.965(16))
= 14.7838 grams
45.3541618818 is the answer
Answer:
The score is 
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is 
The standard deviation is 
From the question we are told that the score follow a normal distribution
i.e 
The proportion of score in the top 10% is mathematically

Where x is the minimum score required to be in the top 10%
Now the 
So

So

So the critical value of 0.10 from the normal distribution table is 
So


I factor it because you can't simplify
2x-8=2(x-4)
X^2+5x+4=(x+1)(x+4)
X^2-16=(x-4)(x+4)
X^2+8x+16=(x+4)(x+4)
