To decrease this amount by 15% we must first find out what is 15% percent.
We can do that by multiplying the decimal of 15% by 120
15% = 0.15
0.15 x 120 = 18
So 18 is 15% of 120.
Wait! that's not the answer. We are asked to decrease by 15%
So 120 - 18 = 102
Your answer is £102
using pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(12x)^2 + (16x)^2 = 10^2
square each term
144x^2 + 256x^2 = 100
combine like terms
400 x^2 = 100
divide by 400 on each side
x^2 = 1/4
take the square root on each side
x = 1/2
Answer: x=1/2

Answer:
sum = ∑[n=1,5] 4^(n-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, you need to be able to describe the n-th term.
Here, we have ...
term #: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
value: 4^-3, 4^-2, 4^-1, 4^0, 4^1
That is, the exponent of 4 is 4 less than the term number. So, the n-th term is 4^(n-4). The sum of the 5 terms shown is then ...

Answer:
$140
Step-by-step explanation:
i assume ur asking for how much is left over
250-35= 215
215-75= 140
$140 left
