ANSWER

The percentage decrease is 10.4%.

EXPLANATION

To calculate percentage decrease, use the formula,

Percentage decrease

$= \frac{new \: price - old \: price}{old \: price} \times 100\%$

Yesterday the price of coffee was 2.40. This is the old price.

Today the price is 2.15. This is the new price.

$= \frac{2.15 - 2.40}{2.40} \times 100\%$

$= \frac{ - 0.25}{2.40} \times 100\%$

$= - 0. 10416667 \times 100\%$

$= - 10.416667\%$

To the nearest tenth, we have:

$- 10.4\%$

Therefore the percentage decrease is 10.4%.

The greatest integer that satisfies the inequality 1.6−(3−2y)<5

Cerrena [4.2K]

Solve the inequality 1.6-(3-2y)<5.

1. Rewrite this inequality without brackets:

1.6-3+2y<5.

2. Separate terms with y and without y in different sides of inequality:

2y<5-1.6+3,

2y<6.4.

3. Divide this inequality by 2:

y<3.2

4. The greatest integer that satisfies this inequality is 3.

Answer: 3.

A rectangular prism has a length of 12 centimeters, a width of 6 centimeters, and a height of 9 centimeters. A cross section is

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

<h2>The perimeter of the cross section is 30 centimeters.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have the intersection of a rectangular prism an a plane.

The dimensions of the rectangular plane are

$l=12cm\\w=6cm\\h=9cm$

Assuming the plane is cutting the prism horizontally, the cross section would have dimensions

$w=6cm\\l=9cm$

Because only the height would be cut.

So, the perimeter of the rectangle cross-section is

$P_{cross}=2(l+w)=2(6+9)=2(15)=30cm$

Therefore, the perimeter of the cross section is 30 centimeters.

For each of the following sequences, • Give a formula for the nth term in the sequence, • Give a recursive definition for the se

Andrew [12]

Answer:

(a) $n^{th} = n$

$f(1) = 1$

$f(n) = f(n-1) + 1$

(b) $n^{th} = 2^{n-1}$

$f(1) = 1$

$f(n) = f(n-1) * 2$

(c) $n^{th} = n!$

$f(1) = 1$

$f(n) = f(n-1) * n$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) This is a sequence of consecutive number

$n^{th} = n$

$f(1) = 1$

$f(n) = f(n-1) + 1$

(b) This is a sequence of 2 to the power of n - 1. The next number is twice time of this number

$n^{th} = 2^{n-1}$

$f(1) = 1$

$f(n) = f(n-1) * 2$

(c) This is factorial sequence. Where the next number is this number multiplied by $n^{th}$

$n^{th} = n!$

$f(1) = 1$

$f(n) = f(n-1) * n$

Brainliest to right person

atroni [7]

Answer:

4 ÷ 6/9 is also equal to 4 x 9/6. This is because when you divide by a fraction, you change the division sign to multiply and reverse the numerator and the denominator of the fraction. For example, if x/y was a fraction, it would become y/x. THIS IS ONLY DURING DIVISION!

So, we now that 4 ÷ 6/9 is equal to 4 x 9/6. 4 x 9/6 = (4x9)/6 = 36/6 = 6.

HELP PLEASE FOR 35 POINTS!!!! Solve the rational equation 3 divided by x equals quantity 4 times x plus 3 divided by x squared,

denis23 [38]

Answer:

$x=-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we are given:

$\frac{3}{x}=\frac{4x+3}{x^2}$

First, we should immediately rule out 0 as an answer. This is because the if $x=0$ , the equation would be undefined.

$x\neq 0$

Now, cross multiply.

$3(x^2)=x(4x+3)$

$3x^2=4x^2+3x$

Divide everything by x (and we can do this safely because we already know x cannot be equal to zero).

$3x=4x+3$

$-x=3$

$x=-3$

We didn't run into any possibilities for extraneous solutions.
