Answer:
87.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
It decreased by 16 - 2 or 14, and since he wrote 16 tickets last week, the answer is 14/16 in percent form, or 7/8 = 87.5%.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Distance Between two Points in the Plane</u>
Given two points A(x,y) and B(w,z), the distance between them is:

We are given the points (5, 14) and (−3, −9). Substituting into the formula:




Answer:
24 blocks
Step-by-step explanation:
He walks 5 blocks to get to the mall, another 7 to get to the theatre, and then walks 7 blocks to get to the store and then 5 more to get home.
Replace b with 7 in the binomial and simplify.
b + 16
Let b = 7
7 + 16 = 23
Step-by-step explanation:
- Length of rectangle = 7 less than the twice the breadth
- Perimeter = 40 cm
Let us say the breadth as b and length as l.
→ Length = 7 less than the twice the breadth
→ l = 2b - 7 ...(1)
Now, according to the question,
→ Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)
→ 40 = 2(2b - 7 + b)
→ 40 = 2(3b - 7)
→ 40 = 6b - 14
→ 40 + 14 = 6b
→ 54 = 6b
→ 54 ÷ 6 = b
→ <u>9</u><u> m = Breadth</u>
Now, finding length.
→ l = 2b - 7
→ l = 2(9) - 7 m
→ l = 18 - 7 m
→ <u>Length = 1</u><u>1</u><u> m</u>
