Answer:

percent decrease is 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

Cost of scooter= $15.50

selling price= $10.75

Step two:

%decrease = Cost price-selling price/cost price

%decrease = (15.5-10.75/15.5)*100

%decrease =( 4.75/15.75)*100

%decrease = 0.30*100

%decrease =30%

therefore the percent decrease is 30%

Answer:

The percent of decrease in the price of the scooter is 30.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the percent of decrease, you have to divide the difference between the two numbers by the original number and multiply the result for 100:

% decrease=((10.75-15.50)/15.50)*100

% decrease=-0.306*100

% decrease= -30.6%

According to this, the answer is that the percent of decrease in the price of the scooter is 30.6%.

Jane multiplies her number by three and subtracts 2.
katrin [286]

Answer:

Let the number they chose be 'x'.

Result of Jane = 3x -2

Result of Elliot = 2x+3

Given that,

The product of their result = 110

or, (3x-2)(2x+3) = 110\\or, 6x^{2} +9x-4x-6 = 110\\or, 6x^{2} +5x - 6 = 110\\or, 6x^{2} +5x - 6-110 = 0\\\\or, 6x^{2} +5x - 116 = 0\\or, 6x^{2} +29x - 24x - 116 = 0\\or, x (6x +29) -4(6x+29) = 0\\or, (x-4)(6x+29) = 0\\i.e. x=4 or x=\frac{-29}{6} \\So,~ the ~number ~they~ chose~was ~either ~4 ~or ~\frac{-29}{6}

Compute x/y if
Marysya12 [62]

Let first consider the equations one by one and will be solving one by one ;

{:\implies \quad \sf x+\dfrac{1}{y}=4}

Multiplying both sides by y will lead ;

{:\implies \quad \sf xy+1=4y}

{:\implies \quad \boxed{\sf xy=4y-1\quad \cdots \cdots(i)}}

Now, consider the second equation which is ;

{:\implies \quad \sf y+\dfrac{1}{x}=\dfrac14}

Multiplying both sides by x will yield

{:\implies \quad \sf xy+1=\dfrac{x}{4}}

{:\implies \quad \sf xy=\dfrac{x}{4}-1}

{:\implies \quad \boxed{\sf xy=\dfrac{x-4}{4}\quad \cdots \cdots(ii)}}

As LHS of both equations (i) and (ii) are same, so equating both will yield;

{:\implies \quad \sf 4y-1=\dfrac{x-4}{4}}

Multiplying both sides by 4 will yield

{:\implies \quad \sf 16y-4=x-4}

{:\implies \quad \sf 16y=x}

Dividing both sides by y will yield :

{:\implies \quad \boxed{\bf{\dfrac{x}{y}=16}}}

<em>Hence, the required answer is 16</em>

The interior angles of a triangle have measures 75 degrees,(-5w+125) degrees, and (4w+85) degrees. what is the value of W?
andrew-mc [135]
The sum of the measures of the angles is 180 degrees.
75 + -5w + 125 + 4w + 85 = 180
Combine like terms.
285 - w = 180
Subtract 285 from both sides.
-w = -105
Divide both sides by -1.
w = 105
