First, solve for the difference between the two prices. That is, $2.79 - $2.86 which is equal to -$0.07. Divide this value by the original price and multiply by 100%. This is shown below,
                         (-$0.07 / $2.86) x100% = -2.448%
Thus, the percentage decrease is approximately equal to 2.4%.

Ksju [112]

Answer:

9 hours, 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

When two ferries work together, they transport a day's cargo in 7 hours

The speed proportion or ratio of larger ferry to smaller ferry is given as 3 : 1

The sum of the ratio = 4 (3 + 1)

This means that it will take the smaller ferry = 7 x 4 hours to work alone = 28 hours, since the larger ferry is faster by 3.

Therefore, when larger ferry works alone, it will take it (7 x 4)/3 = 9.33 hours.

9.33 hours = 9 hours, 20 minutes.
