You can use the formula ...

... (percent change) = ((new amount) - (original amount))/(original amount) × 100%

Filling in the given information, this tells you ...

... (percent change) = ($21 -$28)/($28) × 100%

... = (-7/28) × 100%

... (percent change) = -25%

A negative percent change is a decrease, so the change in price is a ...

... 25% decrease

amanda, bryan, and colin are in a book club. amanda reads twice as many books as bryan per month and colin reads 4 fewer than 3
lesya [120]
Please see below solution:
Let x = number of books that Bryan reads2x  for amanda = Amanda 3x - 4 for Colin  Amanda = 5/8(Bryan + Colin)2x = 5/8(x+3x-4)2x = 5/8(4x-4)

[16x = 5(4x-4)]816x = 20x - 20Subtract 20x from each side-4x =-20-4x/-4= -20/-4 divide -4 to eliminate the -4 in -4xx = 5
Therefore:
Bryan reads 5 books a month.
Since Amanda reads twice as many books a Bryan read so Amanda 10 books a month. 
And Colin 11 books a month. 3(5) - 4 = 11

A dog trainer has 104 ft of fencing that will be used to create a rectangular work area for dogs. If the trainer wants to enclos
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

  36 ft by 16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, you need to find dimensions of a rectangle such that the perimeter is 104 ft and the area is 576 ft. The perimeter is twice the sum of length and width, so the sum of length and width is 52 ft.

The area is the product of length and width, so if w represents the width, we have ...

  w(52 -w) = 576

  w² -52w = -576 . . . . . eliminate parentheses, multiply by -1

  w² -52w +26² = 26² -576 . . . . . .  complete the square

  (w -26)² = 676 -576 = 100

  w = 26 ±√100 =  {16, 36}

If the width is the short dimension, it is 16 feet. Then the length is 36 feet.
