First: work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing by the formula

<u>Decrease = Original Number - New Number</u>

In your case,

\text{Decrease}=5891-5178=713.


Second: divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

<u>% Decrease = Decrease ÷ Original Number × 100</u>

In your case,

\%\text{Decrease}=\dfrac{713}{5891}\cdot 100\%=12.1\%.

Answer: The percent decrease is approximately  12.1%.

We are given

initial population is 5891

so, P_i=5891

Population after 50 years is 5178

so, P_f=5178

now, we can find percent error

so, we can use formula

error=\frac{P_i-P_f}{P_i}\times 100

now, we can plug values

error=\frac{5891-5178}{5891}\times 100

now, we can simplify it

so, we get

The percent decrease is 12.1032%.........Answer

Each of the variables t, w, x, y, and z represents a different positive real number. Given the equations below, which of the 4 v
alex41 [277]

Answer:

y has the greatest value.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.23w = t

Divide both sides by 1.23.

w=\frac{t}{1.23}

w=0.813t  --- (1)

1.01x = t

Divide both sides by 1.01.

x=\frac{t}{1.01}

x=0.99t --- (2)

0.99y = t

Divide both sides by 0.99.

y=\frac{t}{0.99}

y=1.01t --- (3)

From (1), (2) and (3), it is clear that y has the greatest value.
