Answer:
1. $450
2. $128
Step-by-step explanation:
1. new price = .4 (.4 * original price x)
72 = .16x
x = 450
2. new price = .75 (.75 * original price x)
72 = .5625x
x = 128
Answer:
She decreased her running time at a rate of 16.67%
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked basically to calculate the percentage decrease in Abby’s running time.
Mathematically, the percentage decrease equals: (new running time - old running time)/old running time * 100%
We input the values and proceed as follows:
Percentage decrease = (10-12)/12 * 100
-2/12 * 100/1 = -1/6 * 100 = -16.67%
Since it’s a decrease, we just simply say that her running time decrease by 16.67%
A. Slope = 2
b. Slope = 2/3 or 0.66
(Slope = change in y / change in x)
