Answer:
60%
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula:
Percentage decrease = (amount of decrease)/(original price)
✪ Solve ✪
3.85 - 1.54/3.85 x 100
2.31/3.85 x 100 = 60%
Hence, Percent decrease is 60%

A nice riddle, mathematical riddle.
Assuming a turtle winning means the declared winner is the weaker one actually won over the stronger one. In this context, the turtle winner is the one who has a lesser number of favourable votes.
The given rules for the points are as follows:
1. Point for the first choice must be greater than or equal to that of the second choice.
2. All points must be positive whole numbers.
Let's suppose we have Henry against Tim.
Henry is favourite of the voters and is the leading candidate, according to popular polls.
Tim is an excellent manipulator, sly, and everybody knows this.
On polling day, the vote count came out as follows (in point counts)
Henry Tim
2 1
2 1
2 1
2 1
2 1
2 1
10 1 (Henry's own vote)
1 100 (Tim's own vote)
------------------
17 107 TOTAL POINTS
So Tim the turtle was declared winner of the race, and since everything was according to rule, even a recount of the votes did not change the results.
Be aware, voting by districts (instead of popular votes) also exhibits a similar problem.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the probability of him pulling out a book.
There are 11 objects in total, and there are 4 books.
So, the probability of pulling out a book is 
Next, find the probability of him pulling out a DVD after.
Since a book was taken out, there are only 10 objects left. There are 5 DVDs.
So, the probability of pulling out a DVD is
, or simplified to 
To find the probability that this happens in order, multiply the probabilities:
x 
= 
So, the probability is 
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation is,
x² + (p + 1)x = 5 - 2p
x² + (p + 1)x - (5 - 2p) = 0
x² + (p + 1)x + (2p - 5) = 0
Properties for the roots of a quadratic equation,
1). Quadratic equation will have two real roots, discriminant will be greater than zero. [(b² - 4ac) > 0]
2). If the equation has exactly one root, discriminant will be zero [(b² - 4ac) = 0]
3). If equation has imaginary roots, discriminant will be less than zero [(b² - 4ac) < 0].
Discriminant of the given equation = 
For real roots,

p² + 2p + 1 - 8p + 20 > 0
p² - 6p + 21 > 0
For all real values of 'p', given equation will be greater than zero.
Answer:
x-int: 2
y-int: -2
Step-by-step explanation:
x-int is where the line crosses the x axis (horizontal line) and y-int is where the line crosses the y axis (vertical line).
