Answer: a. 14% decrease or 86% of the whole
B. 137.5% increase
Step-by-step explanation:
A. Divide new price by old price and you get .86, change that to a percent by multiplying by 100. That equals 86%, the percent of change would be the difference of 100% to 86%, which is 14%
B. Use above explanation but don’t find the difference. 77/56= 1.375, 1.375*100=137.5
Answer:
the required matrix is can be given as
0.05 with a little line on the top of 5 Because it repeats
C = child tickets
a = adult tickets
Solve this with the substitution method.
Make two equations:
6.30c + 9.90a = 1,246.50
c + a = 159
Solve for c.
Subtract 9.90a from both sides.
6.30c = 1,246.50 - 9.90a
Divide both sides by 6.30.
c = 197.86 - <span>1.57a (rounded to hundredths)
Plug c into second equation.
</span>197.86 - 1.57a + a = 159
Combine like terms.
197.86 - 0.57a = 159
Subtract 197.86 from both sides.
-0.57a = -38.86
Divide both sides by -0.57.
a = <span>68.18
round up to ones: 68
