Answer:
less value
Step-by-step explanation:
To deterimine if value was improved or not, we need to compare the price reduction to the size reduction.
__
The reduction in price is ...
((new value)/(old value) -1) × 100%
= (42/50 -1) × 100% = -16%
The size reduction of 20% is more than the price reduction of 16%, so the chocolate bar is <em>less value</em>.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Compared to the original value, the new price to chocolate ratio is ...
0.84/0.80 = 1.05
Effectively, the price was raised by 5%.
Answer:
B. -2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. What is the value of y in the equation 4 + y = –3? y = -3 – 4 y = -7
Answer:
x = 4
Explanation:
For the right hand side:
log base 9 of 8 + log base 9 of (x-2) = log base 9 (8*(x-2))
= log base 9 of (8x-16)
For the left hand side:
2*log base 9 of x = log base 9 of x^2
Now, equating the two sides and solving for x:
log base 9 of (8x-16) = log base 9 of x^2
This means that:
x^2 = 8x - 16
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 0
(x-4)^2 = 0
Therefore:
x = 4
Hope this helps :)
