Decrease £28 by 7%? im stuck on my homework

Mathematics
1 answer:
Murljashka [212]3 years ago

Answer:

   £26.04

Step-by-step explanation:

The long way is to figure 7% of £28, then decrease that quantity by the amount you figured.

  0.07 ×  £28 =  £1.96

  £28 - 1.96 =  £26.04

__

I prefer to realize that the 100% of the value, decreased by 7%, will be 93% of the value. Then only one calculator operation is required.

  0.93 ×  £28 = £26.04

_____

<em>Comment on percent</em>

Some folks get confused by percents. "Percent" essentially means "per hundred". The symbol % is a shorthand way to write /100, which means exactly the same thing. That is, 7% = 7/100 = 0.07. (Similarly, ‰ is a shorthand way to write /1000.)

<em>Comment on percentage increase or decrease</em>

When you're talking about a quantity decreased by some amount, as "£28 decreased by £7",  you mean the value £7 is subtracted. When you say "decreased by 7%", the interpretation is different. We don't mean that £28 is decreased by 0.07 (to give £27.93); rather we mean £28 is decreased by 7% of £28. That is 7% of £28 is subtracted from £28.

Let B be between a and C use the segment addition postulate to solve for W
fomenos

Answer:

Value of w = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AB= 4w-4

BC = 2w-8

AC = 24

Find:

Value of w

Computation:

AB + BC = AC

4w - 4 + 2w - 8 = 24

6w - 12 = 24

6w = 24 + 12

6w = 36

w = 6

Value of w = 6

Angelina_Jolie [31]
The 8 pack of 1 quart bottles of lemonade is the higher price unit because 4 gallons equal 16 quarts. 16 divided by 2= 8 and 24 divided by 2 =12 dollars. so therefore 8 quarts of "lovin lemon" company is $12 and 8 quarts of "sweet and sour" company is $16 so THE ANSWER IS: "SWEET AND SOUR" COMPANY HAS THE HIGHER UNIT RATE.

The following list shows the items and prices for a restaurant order. Calculate the total amount if there is 7.5% tax and the cu
Rainbow [258]

The first thing we are going to do to find the total cost of the meal before tax:

Total cost before tax = $8.99 + 2($14.99) + $12.99 + 3($1.99)

Total cost before tax = $8.99 + $29.98 + 12.99 + $5.97

Total cost before tax = $57.93

Regarding the 15% gratuity, remember that the unofficial rule for tipping at restaurants is to tip according to the actual value of the meal and not the tax, so we calculate the value of the tip first, and then we add it to the total at the end of our calculations.

Tip = 15%($57.93) = $8.69

Now, lets calculate the tax

Tax = 7.5%($57.93) = $4.34

Finally, we can calculate the total cost of the meal

Total cost = cost before tax + tip + tax

Total cost = $57.93 + $8.69 + $4.34 = $70.96

We can conclude that the correct answer is a. $70.96
