Answer:

16.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Find new values:

5990(1−0.2)=4792

2450(1−0.08)=2254

Last Year This Year

Stock A 5990 4792

Stock B 2450 2254

Total 8440 7046  

Find overall decrease:  

8440(1−r)=7046

8440(1-r)/8440= 7046/8440

1−r=0.834834  

SUBTRACT 1

−r=−0.165166

DIVIDE BY -1

r=0.165166

Multiply by 100 and round to nearest 10th

Final Answer: 16.5%

Answer: 14.38%

Step-by-step explanation:

Worth of stock in Company A = $5990

Percent decrease = 20%

New worth = $5990 - (20% × $5990)

= $5990 - (0.2 × $5990)

= $5990 - $1198

= $4972

Worth of stock in Company B = $2450

Percent decrease = 8%

New worth = $2450 - (8% × $2450)

= $2450 - (0.08 × $2450)

= $2450 - $196

= $2254

Previous total worth = $5990 + $2450

= $8440

Total worth = $4972 + $2254

= $7226

The total percentage decrease in the investor's stock account will be:

= [($8440 - $7226) / $8440] × 100

=( $1214 / $8440) × 100

= 0.1438 × 100

= 14.38%

When we’re writing, we can use a thesaurus to find a different word with the same meaning to present an idea. How can we find di
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Math has the particularity that it is a logical construction.

This means that we can start with an expression X (where X is an equation, not a variable)

Now we can apply a lot of "math" to this equation in such a way that we can rewrite it, but the actual "meaning" of the equation will not change.

An example of this is factoring.

For example, we can write a quadratic equation as:

a*x^2 + b*x + c.

And we also can write this as:

n*(x - k)*(x - j)

where k and j are the solutions of the equation:

a*x^2 + b*x + c  = 0.

What is the advantage of writing the equation in each form?

Well, both expressions actually represent the same thing, but the explicit information in each expression is different, so depending on what we want to do, we will choose one option or the other.

And we have lot's of different ways to express something, where we can find some ones really complex and useful, like the series of Taylor, where we can write a function as a summation of infinite terms.
