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%.

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

In every 42 days,  Sherman and Brad will go golfing on the same day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sherman goes golfing every 6th day.

Brad goes golfing every 7th day.

If they both went golfing today, we need to determine how many days unit they will go golfing on the same day again.

Solution:

In order to determine how many days unit Sherman and Brad will go golfing on the same day again, we will take least common multiple of 6 and 7.

To find least common multiple of 6 and 7, we will list out their multiples.

6=6,12,18,24,30,36,42

7=7,14,21,28,35,42

We find out that the least common multiple of 6 and 7 =42.

Thus, we can conclude that Sherman and Brad will go golfing on same days on every 42nd day after they meet..

PLEASE HELP!
Rasek [7]

Answer:

The percent markup is, \simeq 60.89 % .

Step-by-step explanation:

A pair of shoes cost $ 22.99 to make, the local store sells them for $ 36.99.

So, the increased value for each pair of shoes,

= $ (36.99 - 22.99)

=$ 14

So, the percent markup is,

\frac {14 \times 100}{22.99} %

\simeq 60.89 %
