Answer:

The river is 3.15 feet deep.

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's recognize what we need to find: the depth of the river

We know last year the river was 4.2 feet deep, but it dropped 25%. This means we also need to find how much it dropped. To find this, we need to know what 25% of 4.2 is. Write an equation for this.

y = 25% of 4.2

y = 0.25 • 4.2

y = 1.05

This means that the river dropped 1.05 feet. To know its depth now, we need to subtract 1.05 from 4.2. Write an equation for this.

d = 4.2 - 1.05

d = 3.15

The river is 3.15 feet deep.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

70.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is the average of a set of numbers.

To find it, add up all the terms and divide it by the number of terms.

70 + 67 + 79 + 66 + 64 + 80 + 64 + 75 = 565

565 / 8 = 70.625

Rounding this to the nearest tenth, we get an answer of 70.6
