Answer:

So percent decrement in price will be 20.17 %  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of item is x

It is given that price is decreases 5.2 % five times and increases 1.4 % three times

So price of item after detriment of 5.2 % five times and increment of of 1.4 % three times = x(1-5.2%)^{5}\times (1-1.4%)^3

= x\times0.948^5\times 1.014^3

Decrements in price = x-x\times0.948^5\times 1.014^3

%v decrements = \frac{x-x\times0.948^5\times 1.014^3}{x}\times 100=20.17

So percent decrement in price will be 20.17 %

RoseWind [281]

xeze [42]

Answer:

1.  0.8 cm

2.  1.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

The scale for 2nd map is 1 cm to 50 km, that means "1 cm on map" is "50 km in real life".

We already know distance from Cleveland to Cincinnati is 40 km, which is less than 50, so we know the distance on map would be less than 1 cm.

So we set up ratio and figure out (let x be distance on map from Cleveland to Cincinnati):

\frac{1}{50}=\frac{x}{40}\\50x=40\\x=\frac{40}{50}\\x=0.8

Hene, 0.8 centimeters would be the distance in 2nd map

2.

A scale of 1:50 means 1 cm equal 50 cm

So, 0.8m would be

0.8 * 100 = 80 cm

Hence, 80 cm would be represented by 80/50 on the map, that is:

\frac{80}{50}=1.6

That is 1.6 centimeters
