Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Percentage = \frac{Change\ in\ value\times 100}{initial\ value}

Where

change in value = Final value - initial value.

First find out the percentage of sales incresre from  $5,000 to $10,000.

As given

Last year, sales at a book store increased from $5,000 to $10,000.

Final value = $10000

initial value = $5000

change in value = $10000 - $5000

                           =$5000

Put in the formula

Percentage = \frac{5000\times 100}{5000}

Percentage = 100%

Sales increased 100% last year, from $5,000 to $10,000.

Second find out the percentage of sale decrease to $5,000 from $10,000.

As given

This year, sales decreased to $5,000 from $10,000.

Final value =  $5000

Initial value = $10000

Change in value =  $5000 - $10000

                           = - $5000

(This negative sign shows the decrease percentage.)

Put in the formula

Decrease Percentage = \frac{5000\times 100}{10000}

Decrease Percentage = \frac{500000}{10000}

Decrease Percentage = 50%

When sales dropped from $10,000 to $5,000 this year, sales decreased 50% .

Natalka [10]

Answer:

10,692

Step-by-step explanation:

GCF stands for Greatest Common Factor.  

The way to find it is easy once you have the prime decomposition.

Search for common factors in the decomposition and take the least power, then multiply them all.

So, in our case, as the numbers are already broken down into prime factors , we have

GFC(a,b)=2^2.3^5.11=10,692
