Answer:

The decrease is 21%

Step-by-step explanation:

So lets say the Original area is Pi X (Radius^2)

Lets call Radius as R

For the new radius, it would be: R + 0.1R which is 1.1R

The new area is: Pi X 1.1R^2, which going further is 1.21 after squaring 1.1.

The Original area is: Pi X Radius^2

To find the percent decrease, subtract the new area by the original, cross out Pi X Radius squared and you are only left with 21%

I am in middle school so I don't know if it is going to be incorrect, but I ask you to give it a try and tell me if it was right or not. I have barely done this topic but recently I had a bonus homework question on a question almost exactly like this and this is the way I did it and I was correct. Thanks! Hope it helped! :)

anzhelika [568]

The number of possible groups or combination of three men can be formed from 10 is 120.

According to the given question.

Total number of men in a company, n = 10.

Number of men to be selected, r = 3

As we know that, What is a combination in math?

Image result for what is combination

A combination is a mathematical technique that determines the number of possible arrangements in a collection of items where the order of the selection does not matter.

Therefore, the number of possible groups or combination of three men can be formed from 10

= ^{10} C_{3}

= 10!/ 3!7!

= 10(9)(8)/3(2)

= 5 × 3 × 8

= 120

The number of possible groups or combination of three men can be formed from 10 is 120.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Given:

The price of bananas can be determined by the equation P=0.25n, where P is the price and n is the number of bananas.

To find:

The constant of proportionality

Solution:

We have,

P=0.25n       ...(i)

where P is the price and n is the number of bananas.

Price P is directly proportional to the number of bananas. So,

P\propto n

P=kn            ...(ii)

Where, k is the constant of proportionality.

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

k=0.25

Therefore, the constant of proportionality is 0.25.
