The formula to figure out the percentage increase or decrease is:
<span>(new - old) / old * 100% </span>

<span>new = 60 </span>
<span>old = 72 </span>

<span>(60 - 72) / 72 * 100% </span>
<span>-12 / 72 * 100% </span>
<span>= -1/6 * 100% </span>
<span>= -0.1666... * 100% </span>
<span>≈ -16.667% </span>

<span>Because it is negative, that's a decrease. </span>

<span>Answer: </span>
<span>A decrease of about 16.7%</span>

What is the volume of the cylinder if the height is 2x+7 and the radius is x-3

shusha [124]

Answer:

Therefore the volume of the cylinder $=\pi(2x^3-5x^2-24x+63)$ cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given height of a cylinder is (h) =2x+7

and radius (r)= x-3

Volume of the cylinder = $\pi r^2 h$

$=\pi (x-3)^2(2x+7)$

$=\pi (x^2-6x+9)(2x+7)$

$=\pi (2x^3-12x^2+18x+7x^2-42x+63)$

$=\pi(2x^3-5x^2-24x+63)$ cubic units

Therefore the volume of the cylinder $=\pi(2x^3-5x^2-24x+63)$ cubic units

Discount on LCD TV is $240.<br><br> Sale Price is $1575.00<br><br> What was the list price?

Vikki [24]

Answer: The list price was $1815.00.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the discount on a LCD TV is $240 and the sale price is $1575.00.

We are to find the list price.

The discount is given on the price that is listen on the LCD TV.

So, the list price will be equal to the sum of the sale price and the discount price.

Therefore, the required list price of the LCD TV is given by

$L.P.\\\\=\textup{sale price}+\textup{discount}\\\\=\$(1575.00+240.00)\\\\=\$1815.00.$

Thus, the list price was $1815.00.

A local movie theater sells two bag sizes of popcorn. Both bags are in the shape of a rectangular prism. Bag A measures 4" long,

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

the height of bag b is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

first, find the volume of bag a.

volume formula:

length * width * height = volume

length = 4

width = 3.5

height = 6

substitute the values into the formula

4 * 3.5 * 6 = volume

84 = volume

the volume of bag A is 84

next, find the height of bag b

volume formula:

length * width * height.

length = 8

width = 3

volume = 168 (84 * 2)

8 * 3 * h = 168

24h = 168

24h/24 = 168/24

h = 168/24

h = 7

the height of bag B is 7

a construction crew built 4 1/2 miles of Road and 3 3/8 days. What is the unit rate in miles per day? Write your answer as a fra

sineoko [7]

The construction crew took $3\frac{3}{8}$ days to build $4\frac{1}{2}$ miles of road.

Therefore, in 1 day, the crew built $\frac{4\frac{1}{2} }{3\frac{3}{8} }$ miles of road

= $\frac{\frac{9}{2} }{\frac{27}{8} } =\frac{9}{2}times\frac{8}{27}=\frac{4}{3}$ miles of road

Thus, the required rate is $\frac{4}{3}$ miles or $1\frac{1}{3}$ miles per day.
