When the consumer price index (cpi) decreases from 250 to 150, prices decrease by 100%. True or false?

Mathematics

morpeh [17]3 years ago

Answer with explanation:

Original Price = $250

Decreased Price = $ 150

Reduction = Original Price - Decreased Price

 =  $ 250 -$ 150

= $ 100

Let reduction Percentage =x %

% Reduction

       =250 -250 \times \frac{x}{100}=150\\\\\Rightarrow 250-150=250 \times \frac{x}{100}\\\\ \Rightarrow \frac{100}{250}= \frac{x}{100}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{10000}{250}\\\\\Rightarrow x=40

x=40%

⇒40%  ≠ 100%

→→→When the consumer price index (cpi) decreases from 250 to 150, prices decrease by 100% , is False Statement.

An object is propelled upward from the top of a 300 foot building. The path that the object takes as it falls to the ground can
serg [7]

Answer:

As per the statement:

The path that the object takes as it falls to the ground can be modeled by:

h =-16t^2 + 80t + 300

where

h is the height of the objects and

t is the time (in seconds)

At t = 0 , h = 300 ft

When the objects hit the ground, h = 0

then;

-16t^2+80t+300=0

For a quadratic equation: ax^2+bx+c=0         ......[1]

the solution for the equation is given by:

x = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

On comparing the given equation with [1] we have;  

a = -16 ,b = 80 and c = 300

then;

t= \frac{-80\pm \sqrt{(80)^2-4(-16)(300)}}{2(-16)}

t= \frac{-80\pm \sqrt{6400+19200}}{-32}

t= \frac{-80\pm \sqrt{25600}}{-32}  

Simplify:

t = -\frac{5}{2} = -2.5 sec and t = \frac{15}{2} = 7.5 sec

Time can't be in negative;

therefore, the time it took the object to hit the ground is 7.5 sec

what is the approximate percent increase when the population of a town increases from 12,089 to 15,025? round the population amo
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The approximate percentage is 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial population was = 12089 rounded off to 12000.

The final population is = 15025 rounded off to 15000.

Change in population = 15000-12000=3000

So, the approximate percent increase is =

\frac{3000}{12000}\times100

= 25%.
