Answer:
The price decreased by 16 1/3%, or approximately 16.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula for percent change. If the answer is negative, it is a percent decrease. if the answer is positive, it is a percent increase.
percent change = (new price - old price)/(old price) * 100%
In this case, use:
new price = 50
old price = 60
percent change = (new price - old price)/(old price) * 100%
percent change = (50 - 60)/60 * 100%
percent change = -10/60 * 100%
percent change = -1/6 * 100%
percent change = -100/6% = -50/3% = -16 1/3%
The price decreased by 16 1/3%, or approximately 16.3%
-2/3x + 2.8 = -8.2 what is x
Add 2.8 on both side of the equation
-2/3x=-11
Divide both side by -2/3
x=33/2
Check: -2/3(33/2)+ 2.8 = -8.2
-11+2.8=-8.2
-8.2=-8.2
Answer is x=33/2
The band earned $1,200.
1. Subtract the flat fee 1,200-700 =500
2. 500 is what just the band made. Divide that by .16 (16%) to get the total ticket amount... 500 divided by .16 = 3,125
The total ticket amount was $3,125.
