Answer:
=64 %
Step-by-step explanation:
The percentage decrease is found by
Percent decrease = (original - new)/ original * 100 percent
The original price is 25
The new price is 9
Percent decrease = (25-9)/25 * 100%
=16/25 * 100%
=64 %
Answer:
|x-1|=5
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram you can see that the solutions of the equation are 
and 
1. Find the midpoint between -4 and 6:
1/2(-4+6)=1
2. Find the distance between points x=1 and x=6 (or between x=1 and x=-4):
d=6-1=5
3. Writhe an absolute value equation (the distanse from endpoints and to the midpoint x=1 is equal 5):
|x-1|=5
1. (x−1)(5x+8)−2x+5
=(x)(5x)+(x)(8)+(−1)(5x)+(−1)(8)+−2x+5
=5x2+8x+−5x+−8+−2x+5
Combine Like Terms:
=5x2+8x+−5x+−8+−2x+5
=(5x2)+(8x+−5x+−2x)+(−8+5)
=5x2 + x + −3
2. (−2+5)(3x+9)
=9x+27
3. 2x+5−8x+12
=2x+5+−8x+12
Combine Like Terms:
=2x+5+−8x+12
=(2x+−8x)+(5+12)
=−6x+17
4. (−x+3)(−5x−2)
=(−x+3)(−5x+−2)
=(−x)(−5x)+(−x)(−2)+(3)(−5x)+(3)(−2)
=5x2+2x−15x−6
=5x2 − 13x − 6
Answer: They are both 1.99 a pound.
Step-by-step explanation:
So we need to find the price per pound to compare the two choices. You take the price then divide it by the number of pounds. 15.92/8=1.99. So $1.99 a pound and then the same for 9.95/5 which is also equal to 1.99. Both come out to be 1.99 per pound so <u><em>there is no better buy. </em></u>Cost would be same.
