Answer:
It was approximately a 9% decrease. (If you need to round to the nearest tenth, 9.1. If you need to round to the nearest hundredth, 9.10).
Step-by-step explanation:
I am going to assume that the question means that Andrea could have earned 220 points on the assignment, but instead because the assignment was late, she was marked down 20 points. (Reduced to 20 points is kind of awkward wording).
Given that, 20 divided by 220 comes out to 0.0909 repeating.
0.09, as a percentage, is 9%. (Again, 0.0909, 9.09%, could be rounded up to 9.1%).
Hope this helps!
<span>Let the cost of 2-scoop cones be x, and the cost of sundaes be y.
The first statement tells us that 5x = 3y
The second statement tells us that 9x + 6y = 19.95
Then we need to calculate the value of y (the cost of a sundae).
From our first equation, y = 5x/3. Substituting this into the second equation:
9x + 6(5x/3) = 19.95
9x + 10x = 19.95
19x = 19.95
x = 1.05
Substituting back into the first equation: 5(1.05) = 3y
5.25 = 3y
y = 1.75
Therefore the cost of a sundae is $1.75.

Answer:
1. x/5
2. cubed root of 2x
3.x-10
4.(2x/3)-17
Step-by-step explanation:
Apply division by 10 when one tenth of a number is required and apply multiplication by 10 when 10 times of a number is required.
<u>Solution:</u>
Need to determine what operation is required to get one-tenth of a number and 10 times of a number
To get one tenth of a number, divide the number by 10.
For example to get one – tenth of 100, divide it by 10, we get 10 as a result.
To get ten times of a number, multiply the number by 10
For example 10 times of 10 = 10 x 10 = 100
Hence apply division by 10 when one tenth of a number is required and apply multiplication by 10 when 10 times of a number is required.
