Decrease = 500000 - 420000 = 80000
Percent decrease = 80000 / 500000 x 100% = 16%

Use of word “amount” is irritating as in English this only used for measurements.
“Number” of cars would be better grammar.

One postive interger is 5 less than another. The product of the two intergerd id 24. What are the intergers?
Nesterboy [21]
Your function will be 24=X+(Y+5)

to solve you subtract 5 from each side giving you 19=X+Y now you divide the 19 by 2 so you figure out the base integers giving you 9.5

now you add 5 to one of your integers meaning 9.5+5=14.5

so your integers are 9.5 and 14.5

to check this you do 14.5-9.5 which equal 5 now you do 14.5+9.5 which equals 24

Keely says that he’s glad that his morning coffee is sold in a monopolistically competitive market rather than a purely competit
aleksklad [387]
This suggests that he buys products with higher prices than other similar products. But this type of market(monopolistic competition) is great though, because there are lesser suppliers than in the pure competition where products are almost within the same price ranges. In a monopolistic competition, suppliers sell their products with a justifiable high price. This is also an advantage for the buyers, they would be able to consume and be satisfied with products of high quality.
