The rate of change is 16.8 million tons per year
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, the world catch of fish in 1950 was 12 million tons and in 1955 it was 96 million tons
<em><u>The average rate of change is given by formula:</u></em>

Value in 1950 = 12 million tons
Value in 1955 = 96 million tons
Change in value = value in 1955 - value in 1950
Change in value = 96 million - 12 million = 84 million tons
Number of years = 1950 to 1955 = 5 years
<em><u>Substitute the given values in formula,</u></em>
<em><u></u></em>
<em><u></u></em>
Thus rate of change is 16.8 million tons per year
Let the money alleli initially had be x
Money after buying clothes = x-(1/2)x=(1/2)x
Money spent on shoes = (1/2)x × (1/3)x=(1/6)x
Remaining money = x minus( (1/2)x + (1/6)x)= (1/3)x
Also we know the remaining money is 1000
Therefore
(1/3)x = 1000
Multiplying 3 on both sides
X = 3×1000
X = 3000
The initial amount she had is 3000
Hope this is right!!
The original price was $142.50. What I did was that I added 40% with $101.79 which was the sales price. With the 40% the person saved $40.71.
Hope this helps : )*****
