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%.

An item that was selling 72 is reduced to 60. Find the recent decrease in price. Round you answer to the nearest tenth.
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

You need to find what percentage the difference is of 72.  

First, subtract 60 from 72:

72-60=8

Next, divide 8 by 72:

8/72=0.1111

To convert this decimal to a percentage, multiply it by 100:

100*0.1111=11.11

The percent decrease is 11.11%.

Hope this helps!!

Suppose that 20% of adults belong to health clubs, and 51% of these health club members go to the club at least twice a week. Wh
Westkost [7]

Answer:

10.2% of adults will belong to health clubs and will go to the club at least twice a week

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that the event H=an adult belongs to a health  club  and the event T= he/she goes at least twice a week , then if both are independent of each other:

P(T∩H)= P(H)*P(T)  ( probability of the union of independent events → multiplication rule )

replacing values

P(T∩H)= P(H)*P(T) = 0.20 * 0.51 =0.102

then  10.2% of adults will belong to health clubs and will go to the club at least twice a week

how far would a 4.0 cm tall object be located from a reflecting surface with a focal lenght that is equal to 5 cm if it is to cr
katrin [286]

Answer:

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the mirror equation:

1/di + 1/do = 1/f

where di = -10 cm and f = +15 cm. (Note that di is negative if the image is virtual.)

Substitute and solve for do.

1/do + 1/(-10 cm) = 1/(15 cm)

1/do = 1/(15 cm) - 1/(-10 cm) = 5/(30 cm)

do = 6 cm

Hope it helps you

Regards,

Rachana
