Given:
a.) The price of an item has dropped to $63 today.
b.) Yesterday it was $140.
For us to be able to determine the percentage decrease, we will be using the following formula:

We get,
Original Price = $140
Present Price = $63





Therefore, the decrease of the price in percentage is 55%.
Answer:
<em>The sound level would be at 80 decibels at 1 or 7 number of measures played</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equations with Absolute Values</u>
We have the function s to represent the sound level in decibels:

Where x is the number of measures of the music played.
We are required to find the value of x that makes s=80 decibels. We have to find the equation:

Subtracting 50:


Dividing by 10:


For the absolute value be equal to 3, its argument could be positive or negative:

Or

This leads us to two solutions:

x=7
Or


x=1
The sound level would be at 80 decibels at 1 or 7 number of measures played
(this is for fractions!!!!!!!!!!!!) 28/5 or 5 3/5
i think u just make it into 5.6/1 multiply by 10 which gets 56/10 and wala
but it's not simplified. 56 and 10 is divisible by 2 so u get 28/5 which is actually 5 3/5 (which is 5.6!!)
