Answer:

38.25 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of apples sold = x

Now, on the first hour he sold 15% of the apples i.e. he sold 0.15x kg of apples.

So, the remaining apples = x - 0.15x = 0.85x

Further, on the second hour he sold 20% of the remaining apples i.e. he sold 0.20 × 0.85x = 0.17x kg of apples.

Thus, the remaining apples = 0.85x - 0.17x = 0.68x

Then, on the third hour he sold 25% of the remaining apples i.e. he sold 0.25 × 0.68x = 0.17x kg of apples.

So, the remaining apples = 0.68x - 0.17x = 0.51x

Moreover, on the fourth hour he will sell 30% ( i.e. 5% more of 25% ) of the remaining apples i.e. he sold 0.30 × 0.51x = 0.153x kg of apples.

As, during the second hour, he sold 25.5 kg of apples.

Then, 0.17x = 25.5 i.e. x=\frac{25.5}{0.17} i.e. x = 250

Hence, during the fourth hour, he will sell 0.153x = 0.153 × 250 = 38.25 kg of apples.

Answer:

48.16

167.68

Step-by-step explanation:

New value =

36 - Percentage decrease =

36 - (14% × 36) =

36 - 14% × 36 =

(1 - 14%) × 36 =

(100% - 14%) × 36 =

86% × 36 =

86 ÷ 100 × 36 =

86 × 36 ÷ 100 =

3,096 ÷ 100 =

30.96

New value =

262 - Percentage decrease =

262 - (36% × 262) =

262 - 36% × 262 =

(1 - 36%) × 262 =

(100% - 36%) × 262 =

64% × 262 =

64 ÷ 100 × 262 =

64 × 262 ÷ 100 =

16,768 ÷ 100 =

167.68
