and the answer is c
Compound percentage reduction can be calculated by multiplying the initial number by (1-x)^t where x is the percentage reduction (/100, i.e. 1% reduction is 0.01), and t is the number of times it has reduced.
So:
a)

Where t is the number of weeks.
We can then just substitute in to work out the final pressure:
b) p = 45*0.94^6 =
31psi
Use simultaneous equations:
2x + 7 = x^2 + 8x - 9
7 = x^2 + 6x - 9
16 = x^2 + 6x
+ or - 4 = 7x
answer is
-4/7 or 4/7
