Percentage decrease

Yesterday the price of coffee was 2.40. This is the old price.
Today the price is 2.15. This is the new price.




To the nearest tenth, we have:

Therefore the percentage decrease is 10.4%.
Micheal has 40ft of fencing for the rectangular dog run. So the perimeter of the dog run is 40ft.
Perimeter=40ft
The perimeter of a rectangle is:
P=2l+2w
Since we know the length is 5 and the perimeter is 40, we can solve for the width.
P=2l+2w
40=2*(5)+2w
40=10+2w
subtract 10 from both sides
30=2w
divide both sides by 2
15=w
The width of the fence is 15feet.

Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
Note the squared value in column 3 which is the square of 1 more than the row number, that is
row 2 → (2 + 1)² →3²
row 3 → (3 + 1)² → 4²
Find the square root of 676 = 26 → (25 + 1)² = 26²
Hence the row number is 25
(b)
The pattern in column 1 is [ row number × (row number + 2 ) + 1 ]
row number is n then n(n + 2) + 1 = n² + 2n + 1
2/3 x 3/4 =6/12=1/2
