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

Mathematics

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.

5x+2y=-3;x+5y=4<br>plz answer me​
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

x = -1 and y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2y = -3 . . . . . . . (i)

x + 5y = 4 . . . . . . . (ii)

  • Finding x in terms of y from eq. (ii) :-

x + 5y = 4

x = 4 - 5y

  • Placing this value of x in eq. (i) :-

5(4 - 5y) + 2y = -3

20 - 25y + 2y = -3

-23y = - 23

<u>y = 1</u>

  • Placing the value of y in eq. (i)

5x + 2(1) = -3

5x + 2 = -3

5x = - 5

<u>x = -1</u>
