Answer: 36%
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the price last week, was 4 boxes for $5. Therefore, the price per box will be:
= $5/4
= $1.25 per box
This week they mark a new price at 5 boxes for $4. The price per box will be:
= $4/5
= $0.8 per box
The percent decrease in the price per box this week will be:
= (1.25 - 0.80)/1.25 × 100
= 0.45/1.25 × 100
= 36%
The Percentage decrease is 36%
Answer:
15 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a 50 gram chocolate bar that contains 30% cocoa. So we are basically finding 30% of 50. We break 30 into 3*10 and 50 into 5*10. 5*3 = 15.
Therefore, there are 15 grams of cocoa in the chocolate bar.
I hope this helps.
Out of every 11 students 7 were girls. Set up the following proportion.
11/7 = 77/x Cross multiply
11x = 7*77
x = 7*77/11
x = 49
49 of the student council members were girls.
18sqrt(x)
I'm assuming that 3(sqrt(x))5 is equal to 15sqrt(x). If that is the case, just perform the multiplication within each term and treat the sqrt(x) as a variable when you add the all together. It is okay because they are like terms.
Answer:
m∠B = 110°
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that,
The sum of the measures of the angles in a pentagon is 540°.
So, we get,
130 + (x-5) + (x+30) + 75 + (x-35) = 540
i.e. 3x + (130+30+75) - (5+35) = 540
i.e. 3x + 235 - 40 = 540
i.e. 3x + 195 = 540
i.e. 3x = 540 - 195
i.e. 3x = 345
i.e. x= 115°
Now, as m∠B = (x-5)° = (115-5)° = 110°
Hence, the measure of angle B is 110°.
