The shop had $2,000 in sales on Monday. 
If it fell by 10% on Tuesday, then 2000 * 0.10 equals the percentage it dropped, so it dropped by $200. So they only had $1,800 in sales on Tues. 
If they fell by another 20% on Wednesday, 1,800 * 0.20 equals a $360 drop. Now we're at $1,440. 
The sales then increased by 25% of Monday's total # of sales. 25% of Monday's sales is 2,000 * 0.25 which equals a $500 increase. Now we're at $1,940. 
Now that we're done with everything, how far are we from the beginning? That's the net change. :) We began at $2,000 on Monday, and ended with $1,940 on Thursday. 2000 - 1940 is 60, so 60 = your net change. 

TLDR: Sold $2,000 on Mon, sold $1,800 on Tues, sold $1,440 on Wed, and then sold $1,940 on Thurs. The net change is $60.

Answer:

$12.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of the original rate of pay as being 100%.

If your rate is increasing by 7%, it will now be 107% of the original rate (since 100% + 7% = 107%)

To find 107% of $11.50, convert 107% into a decimal

⇒ 107% = 107/100 = 1.07

then multiply this by the original rate to get the new increased rate:

⇒ $11.50 × 1.07 = $12.305

Rounding this to the nearest hundred = $12.31

Alternatively, you can find 7% of $11.50 and then add this to $11.50.

⇒ 7% = 7/100 = 0.07

Therefore, 7% of $11.50 = 0.07 × $11.50 = $0.805

Add this to the original rate:

$11.50 + $0.805 = $12.305

Rounding this to the nearest hundred = $12.31

A worker is handling the four of a rectangle room that is 12 feet by 15 feet.The tiles are square with side lengths 1 1/3 feet.
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of the floor of the rectangular room that is 12 feet by 15 feet. The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

Area of the rectangular room would be

12 × 15 = 180 feet²

The tiles are square with side lengths 1 1/3 feet. Converting 1 1/3 feet to improper fraction, it becomes 4/3 feet

Area if each tile is

4/3 × 4/3 = 16/9 ft²

The number of tiles needed to cover the entire floor is

180/(16/9) = 180 × 9/16

= 101.25

102 tiles would be needed because the tiles must be whole numbers.

The florida manatee population is 3,000 and is decreasing by 11% each year. Write a function for this situation.
True [87]

Answer:

P=3000(0.89)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

It was given that, florida manatee population is 3,000 and is decreasing by 11% each year.

We want to write a function for this situation.

Since the population is decreasing annually, it is modelled by:

P=P_0(1-r\%)^t

We substitute the give initial population and rate of decrease to get:

P=3000(1-0.11)^t

This simplifies to:

P=3000(0.89)^t

Y=x+2<br> and then you have x=-3 <br><br><br> You also have to use transitive property
tresset_1 [31]
If y = x+2 and x = -3 then we can say that y = -3+2 after replacing the 'x' with -3

From here, we just add -3 and 2 to get -1 which is why y = -3+2 turns into y = -1

So together x = -3 and y = -1

They pair up to form (x,y) = (-3,-1)
