Answer: A. divided the difference of the two quantities by the sum of the two quantities.
===================================================
Explanation:
The difference of the quantities is 20-15 = 5
The sum of the quantities is 20+15 = 35
Dividing those results leads to 5/35 = 0.142857 which rounds to 0.1429
That converts to 14.29%
This is likely the path Adam took. This path is incorrect. The correct steps are shown below
---------------------
Difference = 20-15 = 5
Divide the difference over the original quantity
5/20 = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
We have a 25% decrease because the new quantity (15) is smaller than the old quantity (20)
----------------------
Here's another way to approach the problem
A = old value = 20
B = new value = 15
C = percent change
C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%
C = [ (15-20)/20 ] * 100%
C = (-5/20)*100%
C = -0.25*100%
C = -25%
The negative C value means we have a negative percent change, ie we have a percent decrease. So this is another way to get a 25% decrease.
P=2L+2W
P-2W=2L
P/2-W=L
L=P/2-W
Answer:
159
Step-by-step explanation:
k (9) = (2 * 
) - 3
= (2 * 81) - 3
= 162 - 3
= 159
Answer:
arc ≈ 5.5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The arc of the circle is calculated as
arc = circumference of circle × fraction of circle
= 2πr × 
( r is the radius )
= 2π × 3.5 × 
= 
≈ 5.5 ( to the nearest tenth )
Answer:
40,143.4 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
c= 226.08
r= 113.04
area = Pi *r^2
