Answer:

  decrease of 64.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage change can be calculated from ...

  pct change = ((new value)/(original value) -1) × 100%

  = (50/140 -1) × 100%

  = (-9/14)×100% = -64 2/7% ≈ -64.3%

The price of crude fell about 64.3% in that period.

How do I answer this question letter a
FinnZ [79.3K]
The answer to letter A is (x-y)² because if x=5 and y= -3 the problem would be (5-(-3))² and when you have -- that means you add. ik weird right. So basically that would be 8² which equals 64. Rather then the other one which was (x+y)² because again that would be (5+(-3))² but different because of the addition sign. so, that's asking what 5-3 is which is 2² which equals 4. Making (x-y)² bigger. I hope this helped

natima [27]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

In the pattern, there are some similarities with the first three circles.

1. The number is on the blue half.

2. The halves switch spots, red-blue, blue-red, red-blue.

So, the next one should have the number on the blue half and the next pattern should be red-blue, blue-red, red-blue, and blue-red.

Which one has both the number on the blue half and the pattern blue-red?

C

Hoped this helped.

Which triangles are congruent? How do you know?
choli [55]
Use the side lengths! C and D have lengths of 3 and heights of 4.
Also use how far away they are from the axis.

Both C and D are 2 away from each axis on the end point.
This also goes with A.
However, B does not seem to be congruent in the sense of (coordinates)
It is the same length and height.
