How do you find percentage lost

Mathematics

First: work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing. Then divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. If your answer is a negative number, then this is a percentage increase. :)

Answer:

It depends

Step-by-step explanation:

It depends on the questions, some times you just substract the number from 100 which is the full percentage but sometimes it is like the example below.

lets say a city lost 2% of population each year population now?

98/100*98*100=0.9604= 96.04%

so the lost hear is 100-96.04=3.96

The tempature was very cold,tgen it doubled,then it dropped 10 degrees,and then it increased by 40 degrees.The tempature is now
ycow [4]

Answer

The initial temperature was T = -7 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial temperature be T.

- The tempature was very cold

Temperarure = T

- Then it doubled

Temperature = 2T

- Then it dropped 10 degrees

Temperature = 2T - 10

- And then it increased by 40 degrees.

Temperature = 2T - 10 + 40 = 2T + 30

The tempature is now 16 degrees

Temperature = 16 degrees

2T + 30 = 16

2T = -14

T = -7 degrees

Hope this Helps!!!

Use the x-intercept method to find all real solutions of the equation.<br> x^3-8x^2+9x+18=0
meriva

Answer:

a. x=-1,3,\:or\:6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is;

x^3-8x^2+9x+18=0

To solve by the x-intercept method we need to graph the corresponding function using a graphing calculator or software.

The corresponding function is

f(x)=x^3-8x^2+9x+18

The solution to x^3-8x^2+9x+18=0 is where the graph touches the x-axis.

We can see from the graph  that; the x-intercepts are;

(-1,0),(3,0) and (6,0).

Therefore the real solutions are:

x=-1,3,\:or\:6

25% of American households have only dogs (one or more dogs) 15% of American households have only cats (one or more cats) 10% of
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

a) P=0.2503

b) P=0.2759

c) P=0.3874

d) P=0.2051

Step-by-step explanation:

We have this information:

25% of American households have only dogs (one or more dogs)

15% of American households have only cats (one or more cats)

10% of American households have dogs and cats (one or more of each)

50% of American households do not have any dogs or cats.

The sample is n=10

a) Probability that exactly 3 have only dogs (p=0.25)

P(x=3)=\binom{10}{3}0.25^30.75^7=120*0.01563*0.13348=0.25028

b) Probability that exactly 2 has only cats (p=0.15)

P(x=2)=\binom{10}{2}0.15^20.85^8=45*0.0225*0.27249=0.2759

c) Probability that exactly 1 has cats and dogs (p=0.1)

P(x=1)=\binom{10}{1}0.10^10.90^0=10*0.1*0.38742=0.38742

d) Probability that exactly 4 has neither cats or dogs (p=0.5)

P(x=4)=\binom{10}{4}0.50^40.50^6=210*0.0625*0.01563=0.20508
