Answer:

Today, gasoline prices are $3.44 per gallon.

One year ago, gasoline prices were $3.75 per gallon.

Part A

=> The change is: 3.44 - 3.75 = -0.31

=> The percent change is: -0.31/3.75 = -0.083 = -8.3% of last year's price.

Part B

You calculate the change by subtract the current year's price to the last year's price. If the change is negative, it means the price is down. If the change is positive, it means the price is up.

Next, you divide last year's price by the change to get the percent change.

This negative percent change (-P) can be seen as the fact that last year you bought an amount of gallon which cost 100$, this year, you buy the same amount, you have a discount which is equal to P dollar.

Hope this helps!

Percent change in price =
new price - old price / old price =

3.44 - 3.75 / 3.75 = -8.267%


Answer: Prices of gasoline has reduced by 8.3% since last year.

It means that if you bought $100 worth of gasoline last year, you will have to pay only $91.7 for the same amount of gasoline now.

Through (4,-4) ; perpendicular to 6y=x-12
BARSIC [14]

y = mx + b

m = slope and b = y-intercept


We can arrange 6y = x - 12 in the form of y = mx + b

                  6y = x - 12

                    y = 1/6(x) - 2

Slope of y = 1/6(x) - 2 is 1/6. Taking the negative reciprocal of the slope we get the slope for the perpendicular line.

Negative reciprocal of 1/6 is -6.

The equation for the perpendicular line is

                  y = -6x + b

To find b we can plug in the x and y values of (4,-4) into it since it passes through those coordinates

                -4 = -6(4) + b

                 b = -4 + 6(4)

                 b = -4 + 24

                 b = 20

So the equation for the perpendicular line is y = -6x + 20

Answer:

126 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If your drawing is on a 1 : 40 scale, to find the scale's height, divide the ride's height by 40.

420 / 40 = 10.5

So the drawing will be 10.5 feet tall.

To convert 10.5 feet to inches, multiply it by 12.

10.5 * 12 = 126 inches
