Answer:

6.85% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial Price = $3.65

Final Price = $3.40

Difference in price = Final - Initial = $3.40 - $3.65 = - $0.25

The negative sign indicates that the price decreased hence we can say that the decrease is positive $0.25.

% decrease

= (Amount decreased / initial price) x 100%

= (0.25 / 3.65) x 100%

= 6.85% decrease

1/2(6 2/3+1/4)-5/24=

Helen [10]

For this case we must simplify the following expression:

$\frac {1} {2} (6 \frac {2} {3} + \frac {1} {4}) - \frac {5} {24} =$

We convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

$6 \frac {2} {3} = \frac {3 * 6 + 2} {3} = \frac {20} {3}$

So, by rewriting we have:

$\frac {1} {2} (\frac {20} {3} + \frac {1} {4}) - \frac {5} {24} =\\\frac {1} {2} (\frac {4 * 20 + 3 * 1} {4 * 3}) - \frac {5} {24} =\\\frac {1} {2} (\frac {80 + 3} {12}) - \frac {5} {24} =\\\frac {1} {2} (\frac {83} {12}) - \frac {5} {24} =$

$\frac {83} {24} - \frac {5} {24} =\\\frac {83-5} {24} =\\\frac {78} {24} =\\\frac {39} {12} =\\\frac {13} {4} =\\3 \frac {1} {4}$

Answer:

$3 \frac {1} {4}$
