Answer:
-22%
Step-by-step explanation:
The percent decrease can be found by subtracting the original amount from the sale price. Divide the result by the original price and multiplying the decimal by 100 for the percent.
670.80 - 860 = -189.2
-189.2/860 = -0.22
-0.22*100 = -22%
Think of a number line
You have -6 and -9
Jump 9 up the number line
Your answer is 3
Let L = lengthLet W = width Length is 5 yd less than twice the width ==> L = 2*W - 5 Area is 52 yd^2 ==> 52 = L*W Substitute the value for L from the 1st equation into the 2nd equation
52 = (2*W - 5) * W52 = 2*W^2 - 5*W0 = 2*W^2 - 5*W - 52 0 = (2W - 13)*(W + 4) 2W - 13 = 0 or W + 4 = 0W = 13/2 or W = -4 Width cannot be negative so discard W = -4 W = 13/2 ==> L = 2*(13/2) - 5 = 13 - 5 = 8 So the width is 13/2 yards and the length is 8 yards Check: 2*(13/2) - 5 = 13 - 5 = 8 (13/2)*8 = 4*13 = 52 yd^2
I would say the best answer is a but the whole thing is set up weird
