Answer:
60%
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula:
Percentage decrease = (amount of decrease)/(original price)
✪ Solve ✪
3.85 - 1.54/3.85 x 100
2.31/3.85 x 100 = 60%
Hence, Percent decrease is 60%

The number that twice the sum of it and negative seven is eight is 11.
<h3>How to find the number ?</h3>
Twice the sum of the number and negative seven is eight. The number can be found as follows:
let
the number = x
According to the word expression, twice the value of the addition of x and minus seven is equals to 8. Hence, we will find the value of x in the equation formed from the words expression.
The variable x is the required number.
Therefore,
2(x + (-7)) = 8
2(x - 7) = 8
open the brackets
2(x - 7) = 8
2x - 14 = 8
add 14 to both sides of the equation
2x - 14 = 8
2x - 14 + 14 = 8 + 14
2x = 22
divide both sides by 2
x = 22 / 2
x = 11

Answer:
- 33 1/3 liters of 30%
- 16 2/3 liters of 45%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the liters of 45% solution needed. Then the amount of HCl in the mix is ...
0.45x +0.30(50 -x) = 0.35(50)
0.15x = 0.05(50) . . . . . simplify, subtract 0.30(50)
x = (0.05/0.15)(50) = 50/3 = 16 2/3 . . . liters of 45% HCl
33 1/3 liters of 30% and 16 2/3 liters of 45% HCl are needed.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
You may notice that the general solution to a mixture problem of this sort is that the fraction of the mix that is the highest contributor is ...
(mix % - low %) / (high % - low %) = (.35 -.30) / (.45 -.30) = .05/.15 = 1/3
