Answer:
26.4% decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of change is ...
2500 -1840 = -660
As a percentage of the original price, that is ...
-660/2500 × 100% = -26.4% . . . . . negative change = decrease
The decrease is 26.4%.
Answer:
36.50
To two decimal places
Step-by-step explanation:
The hypothenuse side in a right angle triangle has 58cm. While the angle touching one of its leg is 51°. How long is that leg.
From the right angled triangle, the size of the leg touching the hypothenuse is the adjacent side of the triangle, hence in trigonometry, the cosine rule is used, because it involves the adjacent and the hypotenuse.
Cos 51°=x/58
Let the size of the leg be x
Making x the subject
x=58(Cos51°)
x=36.500058
Correct to two decimal place
x=36.50
You have to get rid of 1/2 by multiplying it by its recriprocal which is like this:
1) 1/2 x 2/1 which equals to zero and you do the same to the other side.
2) -12 x 2/1 = -24x then multiply-24x with 7 which equals -168.
16-x= -24x -168
3) subtract 16 to the other side and subtract 24x with x
23x= -184
4) divide by 23 to isolate x and you get -8
5) x=-8
4.25 is greater than 4.228, b/c 5 in the hundreds place is much more greater than a 2 that is in the hundreds place. No matter how long the number is, 4.25 will still be greater than 4.228
