Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to find the percentage of the price decrease,we must find the difference between the prices

250-175=75

the price has dropped 75$

to find the percentage, we do 75/250

which can be simplified to 3/10 or 30%

We can check this by finding 30% of 250 which is 75

75=75

Can you help me with this question.

HACTEHA [7]

For the scale factor, use the dimensions from similar sides:

Using 18 from the original image you would use 6 from the scaled image.

18 /6 = 3

This means the scaled image is 3 times smaller than the original. Because the scaled image is smaller divide 1 by the scale factor to get 1/3.

Q2:

The scale factor is 1 inch = 12 miles.

Multiply the total inches by 12:

6.5 x 12 = 78 miles.

Given:

Given that there are 10 marbles in a bag. 4 are blue, 3 are black, 2 are white and 1 is red.

The marbles are selected by not replacing the drawn ones.

We need to the probability of selected a black marble and then a white marble without replacement.

Probability:

Let B denote the black marble.

Let W denote the white marble.

The probability of selecting a black marble is $P(B)=\frac{3}{10}$

The probability of selecting a white marble without replacement is $P(W)=\frac{2}{9}$

The probability of selecting a black marble and then a white marble without replacement is given by

$P(B \ and \ W)=P(B) \cdot P(W)$

Substituting the values, we get;

$P(B \ and \ W)=\frac{3}{10} \cdot \frac{2}{9}$

$P(B \ and \ W)=\frac{6}{90}$

$P(B \ and \ W)=\frac{1}{15}$

Thus, the probability of selecting a black marble and then a white marble without replacement is $\frac{1}{15}$
