Grady marks down some $5.59 pens to $5.09 for a week and then marks them back up to $5.59. Find the percent of increase and the

percent of decrease to the nearest tenth. Are the percents of change the same for both price changes? If not, which is a greater change? Complete the explanation, and round your percents to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

Percent of decrease =8.9\%

Percent of increase =9.8\%

Increase percent > decrease percent

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Decreasing :</u>  

Initial price=\$5.59

Decreased price \$5.09

Total decrease =5.59-5.09

=\$0.50

Percentage decrease =\frac{Total\ decrease}{Intitial\ price}\times100

=\frac{0.50}{5.59}\times100\\\\=8.94\approx8.9\%

<u>Increasing :</u>

Initial price =\$5.09

Increased price =\$5.59

total increase =5.59-5.09

=0.50

Percentage increase =\frac{total\ increase}{initial price}\times100

=\frac{0.50}{5.09}\times100\\\\=9.82\approx9.8\%

Mrs. Davis bought 6 pounds of grapes for $18. At this rate, how much would 72 ounces of grapes have cost?
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 pound = 16 ounce

6 pound = 6 * 16 = 96 ounces

Cost of 96 ounces of grapes = $18

Cost of 1 ounce of grape = 18/96

Cost of 72 ounces of grape = 18*72 / 96 = 27/2

                                              = $13.50

Or

Direct Proportion because is weight increase, the cost will increase

96:18 = 72 : x

Product of means = Product of extremes

18*72 = x*96

18*72/96 = x

x =$13.50
