Answer:
42.86%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Reduction in price = $70.00 - $40.00 = $30.00
Reduction in percentage = ($30.00 ÷ $70.00) x 100 = 42.86%
The price of the videogame was reduced by 42.86%.
Answer:
no false.
Step-by-step explanation:
<span> x/2 - 3 = 7
Add 3 to both sides
x/2=10
Multiply 2 on both sides
Final Answer: B. 20</span>
Let <em>q</em> be the number of quarts of pure antifreeze that needs to be added to get the desired solution.
8 quarts of 40% solution contains 0.40 × 8 = 3.2 quarts of antifreeze.
The new solution would have a total volume of 8 + <em>q</em> quarts, and it would contain a total amount of 3.2 + <em>q</em> quarts of antifreeze. You want to end up with a concentration of 60% antifreeze, which means
(3.2 + <em>q</em>) / (8 + <em>q</em>) = 0.60
Solve for <em>q</em> :
3.2 + <em>q</em> = 0.60 (8 + <em>q</em>)
3.2 + <em>q</em> = 4.8 + 0.6<em>q</em>
0.4<em>q</em> = 1.6
<em>q</em> = 4
