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.

A 12,000-lb killer whale might eat as much as 14,000 lb of fish per month (assume a 30-day month). If the average weight of a ce
brilliants [131]

Answer:

2196 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of fish that the killer whale might eat in a month (30 days) = 14,000 lb

Weight of the fish that killer whale might eat in a day = \frac{14000}{30} = \frac{1400}{3} lb.

Average weight of the fish that killer whale eats = 3.4 oz

Since,

1 pound(lb) = 16 ounces(oz)

So,

Weight of the fish that killer whale might eat in a day in ounces(oz) = \frac{1400}{3} \times 16=\frac{22400}{3} oz

Since, a certain fish weighs 3.4 oz, in order to find the number of fish that killer whale must eat, we must divide the total weight in ounces by 3.4 ounces.

So, the number of fish that killer whale would eat = \frac{22400}{3} \div 3.4 = 2196 fish

Thus, the killer whale needs to eat 2196 fish.

Two pools are leaking, after 15 minutes pool A has leaked 2/3 gallon, after 20 minutes pool B has leaked 2/3 gallon. Which pool
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Pool A.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved through ratios. You would write it as \frac{gallons}{minutes} So, \frac{2/3}{15} for the first one, and \frac{2/3}{20} for the second. You might want to use a calculator for that part, but you could also change the gallons to cups, which gives you a much better number of 10.515. So, \frac{10.515}{15} = 0.701, and \frac{10.515}{20} = 0.52575 So, pool A is at a faster rate. If you want it in gallons per minute, it's by 0.01 (with the 1 repeating) gallons per minute. By cups, it's 0.17525 cups per minute.

(The reason I did not do this by cross multiplying and dividing ratios is because it gives you the exact same answer if you are finding it per one, as I am here with per one minute. You can do it this way, it just wastes a bit of time.)

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf 319:3388}

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of tickets sold = 3388

Total number of coach tickets = 3069

Total number of first-class tickets = Total number of tickets sold - Total number of coach tickets

= 3388 - 3069

= 319

\therefore

Ratio of the number of first-class tickets to the total number of tickets = 319:3388
