Take the absolute value of the difference, then divide it by the original amount
|28 - 24.5| / 28 = 3.5/28 = 0.125..now we multiply that by 100 to get it into a percent 0.125 * 100 = 12.5% <== ur answer

Buy =  $28

Sell = $24.50

Decrease = 28 - 24.50 = 3.5

% Decrease = (3.5 / 28) * 100%

                       = 12.5%

A man bought a bicycle for $400 and sold it at a loss of 35%. How much money did he lose?
DedPeter [7]
If he bought the bike for $400 and lost 35% of his profit, you would divide 35 by 100. Next, you would multiply that number (0.35) by 400. When you do that, you get an answer of $140. In conclusion, if he bought the bike for $400 and sold it at a loss of 35%, he would lose $140 from that $400. 

Additionally, if you wanted to know what exactly he sold it for, you would simply subtract 140 from 400. Which would be $260.

So, he bought the bike for $400, but when he resold it, he lost $140 of that pay. Basically, he resold the bike for $260. 

I hope this helps! :) Let me know if you need help with anything else!

On average,ea rectangular garden ha an area of 144 meter square. During a redesign of the garden center, the dimension of the re
aksik [14]

Answer:

New dimensions are; Width = 12m and Length = 12m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length of rectangle be L

Let width be W

Area of rectangle has a formula;

Area = Length x Width = LW

We are given the area = 144 m²

So,

LW = 144 - - - (eq1)

Now, we are told that width is doubled and length is decreased by 12m but area remains the same.

Thus, we have;

Width as 2W and Length as L - 12.

Area = 2W(L - 12)

So,

2W(L - 12) = 144 - - - (eq2)

Equating eq 1 and 2,we have;

LW = 2W(L - 12)

W will cancel out to give;

L = 2(L - 12)

L = 2L - 24

2L - L = 24

L = 24m

From equation 1, LW = 144

Thus; W = 144/L = 144/24

W = 6m

So new design of rectangle now has a dimension of;

Width = 2W = 2 × 6 = 12m

Length = L - 12 = 24 - 12 = 12m

So, new dimensions are; Width = 12m and Length = 12m

The slope of Consider the line whose equation is 3x + y - 3 = 0. The slope of any line that is parallel to this line is any line
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

parallel : y = -3x + 3

perpendicular : y = 1/3x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

rewrite 3x + y - 3 = 0

y = -3x + 3

parallel has the same slope

so

parallel : y = -3x + 3

perpendicular is negative reciprocal of the slope

so

-3x becomes 1/3x

so

perpendicular : y = 1/3x + 3

How many more unit tiles must be added to the function f(x)=x2−6x+1 in order to complete the square?
Valentin [98]
<h2>8 unit tiles should be added</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

       Function given is f(x)=x^{2}-6x+1. We wish to add more unit tiles to the function so that it becomes a complete square.

       Since the given function is of order 2, the side of the square will be order 1. Let us assume a general order 1 expression ax+b to be the side of the square.

       As the function forms the square after adding some p unit tiles, f(x)+p=(\text{Side of square})^{2}

x^{2}-6x+1+p=(ax+b)^{2}=a^{2}x^{2} +2abx+b^{2}

From comparision, a^{2}=1; 2ab=-6; b^{2}=1+p\\a=1; b=-3\\(-3)^{2}=p+1\\p=8

∴ 8 more unit tiles are required to complete the square.
