Answer:
Your final answer is $528.92
Step-by-step explanation:
X - y = 7.....x = y + 7
x * y = 60
y(y + 7) = 60
y^2 + 7y = 60
y^2 + 7y - 60 = 0
(y + 12)(y - 5) = 0
y + 12 = 0
y = -12....not this one because it is negative
y - 5 = 0
y = 5 <===
x - y = 7
x - 5 = 7
x = 7 + 5
x = 12 <==
so ur 2 numbers are 12 and 5
What we need to do is find the difference between the two numbers to find the difference in price and then figure out what the percent of 23.5 that is
23.50-18.80=4.7
now we'll set up a proportion
4.7 x
----- = -----
23.5 100
then cross multiply and divide
100×4.7=470/23.5=20
the percent of decrease is 20%
I hope I've helped!
Answer: 88
Step-by-step explanation: To find 55% of 160, first write 55% as a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left to get .55.
Next, the word "of" means multiply, so we have (.55) x (160).
(.55) (160) = 88
Therefore, 55% of 160 is 88.
