Decrease = New number - Original Number
% Decrease =

× 100
Decrease = 9 - 12 = -3
% Decrease =

= -0.25 × 100 = -25
Your answer =
-25
Answer:
16 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
One of the other three sides is 12 ft. After that fence is subtracted from the total, there are 32 ft of fence left for the other two sides of the rectangle. That allows those sides to be 32 ft/2 = 16 ft long.
The rectangle can be 12 ft by 16 ft. The longer dimension is 16 ft.
Answer:
Principal: $6,166.67
Principal: $5,200.00
Explanation:
<u><em>1. $6000 for 50 days at 20% p.a</em></u>
<u><em></em></u>
In 20% pa, pa means "per annum", i.e. "per year".
Assume simple interest:
Interest:
- Interest = Principal × number of days × annual rate / 360
- Interest = $6,000 × 50 × 20% / 360 = $166.67
Principal = principal + interest = $6,000 + $166.67 = $6,166.67
<u><em></em></u>
<u><em>2. $5000 for 5 months at 0.8% per month</em></u>
Assume, again, simple interest.
- interest: 0.80% per month
Interest:
- Interest = Principal × number of months × montly rate
- Interest = $5,000 × 5 × 0.80% = $200.00
Principal = principal + interest = $5,000 + $200.00 = $5,200
You can see that the accrued interests depend on the principal, the interest rate, and the time.
We know: The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is equal 180°.
We have: m∠A =65°, m∠B = (3x - 10)° and m∠C = (2x)°.
The equation:
65 + (3x - 10) + 2x = 180
(3x + 2x) + (65 - 10) = 180
5x + 55 = 180 <em>subtract 55 from both sides</em>
5x = 125 <em>divide both sides by 5</em>
x = 25
m∠B = (3x - 10)° → m∠B = (3 · 25 - 10)° = (75 - 10)° = 65°
m∠C = (2x)° → m∠C = (2 · 25)° = 50°
<h3>Answer: x = 25, m∠B = 65°, m∠C = 50°</h3>
