Percent decrease is 1-(new/old) so 1-60000/400000 or 1-0.15 or 0.85 or 85%
Answer:
Silk = x = 1.5 yards
Cotton = y = 2.75 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 4.25
16.90x + 4y = 36.35
1. The solution to the equation represent number of yards of silk and number of yards of cotton bought.
2.
x + y = 4.25 (1)
16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)
Multiply (1) by 4
4x + 4y = 17 (3)
16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)
Subtract (3) from (2)
16.90x - 4x = 36.35 - 17
12.90x = 19.35
Divide both sides by 12.90
x = 19.35 / 12.90
= 1.5
x = 1.5 yards
Substitute x = 1.5 yards into (1)
x + y = 4.25
1.5 + y = 4.25
y = 4.25 - 1.5
= 2.75
y = 2.75 yards
Silk = x = 1.5 yards
Cotton = y = 2.75 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
x2-x-12<0
x2-x<12
x=12
we have the coordinates of ABCD
there are 2 ways of doing this one is you find the distance of ab, bc, cd and da and then add the answers together. there is another way but i dont remember it properly so i am just gonna do it this way
distance between 2 point = 
AB




AB = 4.24
now repeat the same with all
BC= 4.24
CD= 4.24
DA= 4.24
so its a square with all the same sides so perimeter is 4 x 4.24
perimeter is 16.96
