The decrease is 8.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Old price = $23000

New price = $21000

Difference = New price - Old price

Difference = 21000 - 23000 = -2000

The negative sign indicates the decrease.

$Percent\ decrease=\frac{Difference}{New\ value}*100\\\\Percent\ decrease=\frac{2000}{23000}*100\\\\Percent\ decrease=\frac{200000}{23000}\\\\Percent\ decrease=8.69\%$

Rounding off to nearest tenth;

Percent decrease = 8.7%

The decrease is 8.7%

The half-life of chromium−51 is 27.8 days. How much of a 7.6−oz sample of chromium−51 will remain after 139 days?

In-s [12.5K]

Ending Amount = Beginning Amount / 2^n
where "n" is the number of half-lives
n = 139 / 27.8 = 5 half-lives
Ending Amount = 7.6 oz / 2^5
Ending Amount = 7.6 oz / 32
Ending Amount = .2375 ounces

Begin with process of elimination: As seen on the graph, there is a discontinuity at x=3. this means that x>=3. so we can eliminate B and C

Now you can see that at x = 3, two things happen. When moving to the left, x<3. when moving tot he right x>=3 so because of this you can eliminate D. The answer is A
