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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Murljashka [212]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that passes through 3,4 and is parallel to y=-2x-2
kow [346]
Y = -2x - 2. Slope here is -2. A parallel line will have the same slope.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2
(3,4)...x = 3 and y = 4
now we sub and find b, the y int
4 = -2(3) + b
4 = - 6 + b
4 + 6 = b
10 = b

so ur parallel equation is : y = -2x + 10

If a gardener fences in the total rectangular area shown in the illustration instead of just the square area, he will need twice
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

He needs 5x+56 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much of fencing he needs , we find the perimeter of the given figure

All sides are equal in a square

To find perimeter of the square we add all the sides

4 sides we have for the square

one side is x, so perimeter of square = x+x+x+x= 4x

Now we find perimeter of rectangle

Opposite sides of rectangle are equal

Here for rectangle we consider only three sides

because fourth side is common for rectangle and square

So perimeter of the rectangle (with 3 sides) = 28 +x+ 28 = 56+x

Total fencing = perimeter of square + perimeter of rectangle

4x + 56 + x= 5x+56

(-10x^2+2)+(-2x^2+9x+7)
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

- 12x² + 9x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

(- 10x² + 2) + (- 2x² + 9x + 7 ) ← remove parenthesis

= - 10x² + 2 - 2x² + 9x + 7 ← collect like terms

= - 12x² + 9x + 9
