Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

As the given situation the parameters are below:-

Cost of each box = 3 pounds

Amount of cereal in each box = 160 g

now,

160 g of cereal = 100%

and

25% of 1 box of cereal = 25% of 160 g which is

= \frac{25}{100} \times 160 g= 40 g

As per the question,  it is mention that Jane need her idea to give the equal value of amount as Tim's idea, provided

160 g of cereal costs 3 pounds

and

1 g of cereal will cost

=  \frac{3}{60}\ pounds

40 g of cereal will cost 40\times \frac{3}{160}  = \frac{3}{4}\ pounds

So, the percentage of \frac{3}{4} the pound is of 3 pounds is 3 ÷ 4 ÷ 3 × 100

= 25%

Therefore as the situation, Jane need to decline the amount by 25% for the same amount as Tim's idea.

What number should be added to the expression x2 14x to change it into a perfect square trinomial?.
makkiz [27]

Answer:

  49

Step-by-step explanation:

When you look at the square of a binomial, you see ...

  (x +a)^2 = x^2 +(2a)x +a^2

The constant value (a^2) is <em>the square of half the x-coefficient</em>.

  (14/2)^2 = 49 . . . . the value to be added.

Adding 49 gives ...

  x^2 +14x +49 = (x +7)^2
