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%

For what value of a does 9 equal 1/27 a + 3​
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

a = 162

Step-by-step explanation:

9 = 1/27 a +3

Subtract 3 from each side

9-3 = 1/27 a +3-3

6 = 1/27 a

Multiply each side by 27

6*27 = 1/27 a *27

162 = a

6. Sketch the region enclosed by the graphs of x =0, 6y-5x=0 and x+3y=21. Find the area
kow [346]
We can see that revolving the region formed by intersecting 3 lines, we will get 2 cones that are connected their bases.
Volume of the cone V=1/3 *πr²*h

1) small cone has r=5, and h=5
Volume small cone V1= 1/3 *π*5²*5 = 5³/3 *π
2) large cone has r=5, and h=21-6=15, h=15
Volume large cone V2= 1/3 *π*5²*15 = 5³*π
3) whole volume
5³/3 *π + 5³*π=5³π(1/3+1)=((5³*4)/3)π=(500/3)π≈166.7π≈523.6

Area
we see 2 right triangles,
Area of the triangle=1/2*b*h, where b -base, h -height
1) small one, b=5, h=5
A1=(1/2)*5*5=25/2
2)large one, b=5, h=15
A2=(1/2)*5*15=75/2
3) whole area=A1+A2=25/2+75/2=100/2=50

I need help with 32 please help!!
ser-zykov [4K]

Im not doing the answer but here is a super awesome way to figure it out with tens. and since you ave a computer just use calculator. if the exponent is over a ten, its literally telling u how many zeros to put so if I have 10^5 I put 5 zeros behind it. So just do that in a calculator to get the values and then its as simple as a 3rd grade question
