Answer:
8% decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
First work out the difference decrease between the two numbers you are comparing. Then decrease the original number by the new number.Then divide the original number by the decrease and multiply the answer by 100.Next you divide the original number by the new number and multiply by 100. Finally you will get your answer.
Ok anddddddddddddddddddddd
You have to be very careful how you set this up. For every girl (who counts as 1) there are 3 boys (who count as 3). The total number in the proportion is 3 + 1 =4. You are given a total, but that is both boys and girls. That's why you need the 4.
3/4 = x / 236 Cross multiply
4x = 3 * 236
4x = 708 Divide by 4
x = 708/4
x = 177
There are 177 boys at the school and 236 - 177 = 59 girls.
Answer:
C=$(4.30xy+5.40(xz+yz))
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface Area of a Cuboid=2(LW+LH+HW)
Since the top is open
Surface Area = LW+2(LH+HW)
If Length = x feet,
Width =y feet
Height = z feet
Surface Area = xy+2(xz+yz)
Area of the base=xy
If it costs $4.30 per square foot to build the base
Cost of the base=Cost Per Square Foot X Area = $4.30xy
Area of the sides =2(xz+yz)
If it costs $2.70 per square foot to build the sides
Cost of the sides=Cost Per Square Foot X Area of the sides
= 2.70 X 2(xz+yz)
=5.40(xz+yz)
Cost of Constructing the Box = Cost of Constructing the Base + Cost of Constructing the Sides.
Therefore,
C=$(4.30xy+5.40(xz+yz))
Answer:
b. an = 2 • (-3)^(n - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Before we test a solution or two, we can easily discard most of them.
We see the values alternate of signs (-5 for the 2nd term and +162 for the 5th term)... so the progression factor has to be negative (in order to alternate sign). <u>That already excludes answers A and C.</u>
Normally, a geometric progression has the (n-1) exponent, not (n+1), so our chances seem to be better with B.
We can test both D and B with n = 2, to obtain -6
Let's test answer D before:

The result is -54, not -6... so it's not the right result.
Let's test answer B then:

Right! Let's verify with n=5 to get 162:

Confirmed, answer is B. an = 2 • (-3)^(n - 1)
