Answer: A. divided the difference of the two quantities by the sum of the two quantities.
===================================================
Explanation:
The difference of the quantities is 20-15 = 5
The sum of the quantities is 20+15 = 35
Dividing those results leads to 5/35 = 0.142857 which rounds to 0.1429
That converts to 14.29%
This is likely the path Adam took. This path is incorrect. The correct steps are shown below
---------------------
Difference = 20-15 = 5
Divide the difference over the original quantity
5/20 = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
We have a 25% decrease because the new quantity (15) is smaller than the old quantity (20)
----------------------
Here's another way to approach the problem
A = old value = 20
B = new value = 15
C = percent change
C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%
C = [ (15-20)/20 ] * 100%
C = (-5/20)*100%
C = -0.25*100%
C = -25%
The negative C value means we have a negative percent change, ie we have a percent decrease. So this is another way to get a 25% decrease.
Answer:
$1.25 & $10.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c be the cost of renting one chair and t be the cost of renting table. We're given two equations:
#1. 5c + 3t = 37
#2. 2c + 6t =64
We have a system of equations. Using our system of equations calculator, we can solve this problem any of 3 ways below:
- Chairs (c) cost $1.25
- Tables (t) cost $10.25
Answer:
12 and 16 or 12:16
6 x 2 = 12
8 x 2 =16
12 + 16 = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
36= 2*2*3*3
27= 3*3*3
10= 2*5
LCM= 2*2*3*3*3*5
LCM= 540
Final answer: 540
SOLUTION
The object would hit the ground at the root of the equation, that is where h = 0
So we have
Solving the quadratic equation, we have
So we ignore -1 as time cannot be negative.
Hence the object hit the ground in 3 seconds
