First find the difference in prices...

475 - 275 = 200 so the price went down 200 dollars. No we need to find what percentage of 475 is 200.

475 × x = 200
x = 200/475
x = .4211

Now convert to percentage by multiplying by 100 (move decimal 2 places to the right)

.4211 = 42.11%

It is a 42.11% price reduction.

For altitudes up to 36,000 feet, the relationship between ground temperature and atmospheric

Verizon [17]

Answer:

The equation for a is $a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(t-g)$

The altitute is 101,428.57 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the relationship between ground temperature and atmospheric temperature can be described by the formula

t = -0.0035a +g

where:

t is the atmospheric temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
a is the altitude, in feet, at which the atmospheric temperature is measured
g is the ground temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

Solving the equation for a:

-0.0035a +g=t

-0.0035a= t - g

$a=\frac{t-g}{-0.0035}$

$a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(t-g)$

<u><em>The equation for a is </em></u> $a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(t-g)$ <u><em></em></u>

If the atmospheric temperature is -305 °F and the ground temperature is 50 °F, then t= -305 °F and g= 50 °F

Replacing in the equation for a you get:

$a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(-305-50)$

$a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(-355)$

a= 101,428.57

<u><em>The altitute is 101,428.57 feet</em></u>
