Answer:

The price been reduced by a percentage of 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$39.95 -----> represent the 100%

The difference of prices is equal to ($39.95-$23.97)=$15.98

Using proportion

Find the percentage of the difference

100/39.95=x/15.98

x=100*15.98/39.95

x=40%

The weight of gemstones, such as diamonds, rubies, and emeralds, is measured in carats. A carat is a unit of measure equal to 20

Alexxx [7]

We are told in the question that 1 carat is equal to 200 mg.

The Hope Diamond is 44.5 carats. Let's multiply the weight of 1 carat by 44.5 to get the weight of the Hope Diamond in mg:

$\frac{200mg}{1 carat}* \frac{44.5 carats}{1}=8,900 mg$

The total weight of the Hope Diamond is 8,900 mg. However the question asks for the weight in grams. There are 1000 mg in 1 gram, so let's divide the known weight of the Hope Diamond in mg by 1000 to get the weight converted to grams:

$\frac{8,900mg}{1000}=8.9grams$

Now we know that the weight of the Hope Diamond is equal to 8.9 grams.

$15x^2+14x-49=0\\\\
Terms:\\
a=15\ \ \ \ b=14\ \ \ \ c=-49\\
Quadratic\ Formula:\\\\
x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\
x=\dfrac{-14\pm\sqrt{196+2,940}}{30}\\\\
x=\dfrac{-14\pm\sqrt{3,136}}{30}\\\\
x=\dfrac{-14\pm56}{30}$

$Roots:\\\\
x'=\dfrac{-14+56}{30}\\\\
x'=\dfrac{42}{30}\\\\
x'=\dfrac{21}{15}\\\\
\boxed{x'=\dfrac{7}{5}}\\\\\\\\
x''=\dfrac{-14-56}{30}\\\\
x''=\dfrac{-70}{30}\\\\
\boxed{x''=\dfrac{-7}{3}}$
