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>

Answer:

Day 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The question can be represented with a geometric sequence

Where,

a = 5

Common ratio , r = 2

v(t) = a * r^(t - 1)

v(t) = 5 * 2^(t-1)

20,000 = 5 * 2^(t-1)

Divide both sides by 5

20,000 / 5 = 5 * 2^(t-1) / 5

4,000 = 2^(t-1)

2^12 = 2^(t-1)

12 = t - 1

12 + 1 = t

t = 13 days

What would be the day when more than 20,000 people will see the video

Check:

v(t) = 5 * 2^(t-1)

= 5 * 2^(13-1)

= 5 * 2^12

= 5 * 4,096

= 20,480

Therefore,

The day when more than 20,000 people will see the video is day 13

Can I please get help with this I give thanks

First one :
We divide it into two rectangles (the top one has dimensions 2in*4in)

The area of the top rectangle is 2*4=8 in^2

The second rectangle has dimensions 3*(5-3)=6 in^2
Hence the total area is 8+6=14 square inches

Second one :

We divide it into a rectangle (dimensions 11*17) and a triangle on the top.

The area of the rectangle is 11*17=187 m^2
The rectangle has dimensions 17 (base's length) and 23-11 (height) hence its area is 17*(23-11)/2=102 m^2

Hence the total area is 102+187=289 square meters

If m RDC = 120°, then m DAC=?
monitta
The correct answer to this question is 240

From the image i've seen, the RDC has an angle of 120. So the major arc DC (that passes A and B) has an angle of 240.

So this makes that the measure of the angle of DAC is 240 because of the angle formed by RDC which is 120.
