If you decrease something by 4 percent,
you are keeping (100% - 4%) or 96% of the original
so multiply by the original amount by 96 percent or .96
If you have 100 pennies, and you give 4 away ( 4 percent decrease), you still have 96 pennies. You are keeping 96 percent of what you started with. This works no matter how much you start with.
Example:
you have 40 dollars
4% decrease
40 * .04 = 1.6 take this away
40 - 1.6 = 38.4 left
you keep 96 percent
40 * .96 = 38.4 left
Answer:
$1 per lb
Step-by-step explanation:
If you divide the cost by the amount you are getting, then you get the unit rate. So, since 7 divided by 7.00 is 1.00, then the cost per pound is $1.00
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
One solution (z = -1)
Discussion:
-2(z+3)-z=-z-4(z+2) =>
-2z -6 -z = -z -4z - 8 =>
-3z -6 = -5z -8 => add 6 to both sides
-2z = -5z -2 => add 5z to both sides
3z = -5z +5z -3 =>
3z = -3 =>
z = -1
Thank you,
MrB
