The cubs won 87 games in 2013 and 75 games in 2014. Find the percent decrease?

1 answer:

4 0

To calculate for the percent of decrease:
First: work out the difference between the two numbers that you are given with.

Decrease = Original Number - New Number

Second: divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.
In formula terms it would look like this percent of decrease = Decrease ÷ Original
Number × 100

= (87-75) / 87 x 100

= 12/87 x 100

= 0.137931034 x 100

=13.79%

An orchard has 651 orange trees. The number of rows exceeds the number of trees per row by 10. How many trees are there in a row

natima [27]

Answer:

The number of trees in each row is 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the number of trees in each row = m

So, the number of rows in the orchard = Number of trees in each row + 10

or, total number of trees in each row = (10 +m)

Now, Total number of Trees = Number of Rows x Number of trees in 1 row

⇒ 651 = m (m + 10)

$651 = m^2 + 10m\\\implies m^2 + 10m - 651 =0\\or, m^2 + 31m 21m - 651 =0\\or, m(m +31) -21(m+31) =0\\\implies (m +31) (m-21) = 0$

⇒ (m +31) = 0, or (m-21) = 0

⇒ m= -31, or m = 21

Now, as m = The number of trees in each row, so m ≠ -31

So, m = 21

Hence, the number of trees in each row is m = 21.

Solve the system of the linear equation using any method:<br> 2x+5y=4<br> 4x+7y=11

mr_godi [17]

Multiply the first equation by 2:
4x+10y=8
Subtract the second equation from this so the 4x cancels:
3y = -3
y = -1
Plug into first equation:
2x -5 = 4
2x = 9
x = 9/2 = 4 1/2 = 4.5
So (x,y) = (-1,4.5)
