Original amount 120 and new amount is 30. what is the amount of decrease and percent of decrease

2 answers:

5 0

To find how much it was decreased by, subtract the original amount by the new amount:

120 - 30 = 90
So 120 was decreased by 90

First we find what percent 30 is of 120. We do this by dividing the new amount by the original amount, and then multiply by 100 to change the answer from a decimal to a percentage.

30 / 120 x 100 = 25%

This tells us that 30 is 25% of 120. Now we subtract 100% by 25%, to get the percentage decrease:

100 - 25 = 75%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So the amount of decrease was 90
And the percentage decrease was 75%

500 in the ratio 2:3

irina1246 [14]

500 in 2:3 is saying that there are five different parts (2 + 3)
This means that 500 needs to be split into five, which is 100.
After that all you need to do is put 2 'sections' on one side and 3 on the other.

For example, 2 : 3 = 2( x 100) : 3( x 100)
= 200 : 300

10.5% of the population is 65 or older. Find the probability that the following number of persons selected at random from 25 peo

julia-pushkina [17]

Given:

The sample size n=25

Probability of population is 65 or older is 10.5%.

This date follows the binomial distribution,

$\begin{gathered} n=25,p=0.105 \\ X\rightarrow B(n=25,p=0.105) \end{gathered}$

To find the probability that at most 2 are 65 or older,

$\begin{gathered} P(X=x)=^nC_x(p)^x(1-p)^{n-x} \\ P(0\leq X\leq2)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2) \\ =^{25}C_0(0.105)^0(1-0.105)^{25-0}+^{25}C_1(0.105)^1(1-0.105)^{25-1}+^{25}C_2(0.105)^2(1-0.105)^{25-2} \\ =0.0625+0.1832+0.2579 \\ =0.5036 \\ \approx0.504 \end{gathered}$

Answer: Probability is 0.504 .

Answer:

Carla lives 16 miles from the Library.

The mistake is drawng the diagram incorrectly and using the miles given in the wrong places. The student's diagram has Yuri in a place that's Southwest of the Library in the diagram given

Step-by-step explanation:

If Yuri lives 24 miles SOUTH of the library, the "b" side of the triangle should be 24, with the Library at the top and Yuri at the bottom left, which is the west end of the base. The base "a" of the triangle should extend 10 to the right (East in compas directions) forming the right angle. Carla lives at the sharp southeast corner of the triangle, and the Hypotenuse "c" from her house to the Library is the distance we have to figure.

c² =a² + b²

c² = 10² + 24²

c² = 100 + 576

c² = 676

√c² = √676

c = 26 Carla lives 26 miles from the Library.
