the assumption being that "x" is a plain variable whilst "y" is a function, that matters because the chain rule would be needed for a function, not so for a plain variable.
now, we know that y(5) = -23, which is another way of saying that when x = 5, y = -23, but we already knew that, we can get that by simply plugging it into the equation hmmm y'(5), well
Area of road =70*50=3500
3500*2=7000 because it has cross road
6*6=36
7000-36=6964
6964*5.50=38302
Answer:
-12.8%
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the percent decrease, we:
- Find the difference between the new value and the original
- Divide the number by the original
- Multiply by 100 and the % symbol.
The population of the town originally had 25,000. 3,200 people moved away. This means that the new population is 21,800.
- 21,800-25,000=-3,200
- -3,200/25,000=-0.128
- -0.128(100)=-12.8%
The towns population decreased by 12.8%.
