Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of people who went to swimming pool in the first week = 1120

In second week, there are 100 fewer people, so

Number of people who went to swimming pool in the second week = 1020

In third week, there are 140 more people, so

Number of people who went to swimming pool in the third week = 1160

In fourth week, there are 208 fewer people, so

Number of people who went to swimming pool in the fourth week = 952

To find:

Percentage decrease in the number of people who went to the pool over the four weeks?

Solution:

Initial value = 1120

Final value = 952

Decrease in the value = Final value - Initial value

Decrease in the value = 1120 - 952 = 168

To find the percentage, we need to take the initial value in the consideration.

Therefore, percentage decrease is:

\dfrac{Decrease}{Initial\ value}\times 100

\Rightarrow \dfrac{168}{1120}\times 100\\\Rightarrow \bold{15\%}

PLEASE HELP ASAP &lt;333<br><br> What is the sum of the geometric series ?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways to do this. You could figure all four terms out and add them, which is likely the simplest way.

One:     6^(1 - 1) = 6^0 =      1

Two:     6^(2 - 1) = 6^1 =      6

Three:   6^(3 - 1) = 6^2 =   36

Four:     6^(4 - 1) = 6^3 =   216

Sum = 259

The vertices of triangle rst are r(–1,–2), s(2,–1), and t(4,2). If δjkl ∼ δrst and the length of kl is units , what is the lengt
NemiM [27]

Answer:

3.16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been given that the triangles JKL and the triangle RST are congruent.

That implies that, the length of the side JK, KL, and JL is equivalent to the length of the sides RS, ST, and RT respectively.

Now, to find the length of JK we need to find the length of the side RS. The coordinates of the points R and S are (-1,-2) and (2,-1).

The length of the side RS is equal to the distance between point R and S.

RS =\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

= \sqrt{(2-(-1))^2+(-1-(-(-2))^2}

=\sqrt{3^2+(-1+2)^2}

=\sqrt{9+1}=\sqrt{10}=3.16

Now that we have the length of the side RS, and the triangles JKL and RST are congruent therefore, the length of the side JK is 3.16 units.
