Answer:

a = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 8

3x - y = 9

3(8) - y = 9

24 - y = 9

-y = 9 - 24

-y = -15

y = 15

ax + y = 23

a(8) + 15 = 23

8a = 23 - 15

8a = 8

a = 8/8

a = 1

What single decimal multiplier would you use to decrease by 6% followed by a 9% decrease?
Tom [10]
<h3>Answer: 0.8554</h3>

==========================================

Explanation:

A 6% decrease means the multiplier is 1-0.06 = 0.94

A 9% decrease means the multiplier is 1-0.09 = 0.91

Multiply those results: 0.94*0.91 = 0.8554

----------------

Extra Info:

The final price is 85.54% of the original price after the two discounts are applied (in any order). This represents a total discount of 100% - 85.54% = 14.46%

How is 0.025¯¯¯¯ written as a fraction in simplest form?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

I am not sure if you wrote a repeating decimal with the line next to the 0.025 so comment if you need it. If it wasn't repeating it would be simply 1/40 if there is no repeating and you only want 0.025 is a fraction in simplest form.

Gas station X charges $4.00 per gallon of gas. Gas station Y charges $4.12 per gallon of gas. What is the percent increase from
kirill [66]
First, find the increase in charge between the two station. That is:

$4.12-$4.00=$0.12

Then, divide the increase by the price charged by Gas Station X.

$0.12/$4.00=0.03

Lastly, since it is a decimal, transform it to percentage by multiplying 100%

0.03x100%=3%

Hope this is the brainliest answer.
