Answer: 'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':

p% = p 'out of one hundred',

p% is read p 'percent',

p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100.

8% = 8/100 = 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08.

100% = 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate percentage decrease:

First: work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing. Then: divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. If your answer is a negative number, then this is a percentage increase.

Answer:

Anna has $36.39 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

All we have to do is subtract

54 - (26.34 + 1.27) =

54 - 27.61 =

36.39

So, the answer is 36.39

Suppose z equals f (x comma y ), where x (u comma v )space equals space 2 u plus space v squared, y (u comma v )space equals spa

$z=f(x(u,v),y(u,v)),\begin{cases}x(u,v)=2u+v^2\\y(u,v)=3u-v\end{cases}$

We're given that $f_x(6,1)=3$ and $f_y(6,1)=-1$ , and want to find $\frac{\partial z}{\partial v}(1,2)$ .

By the chain rule, we have

$\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial v}=\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x}\dfrac{\partial x}{\partial v}+\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial y}\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial v}$

and

$\dfrac{\partial x}{\partial v}=2v$

$\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial v}=-1$

Then

$\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial v}(1,2)=\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x}(6,1)\dfrac{\partial x}{\partial v}(1,2)+\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial y}(6,1)\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial v}(1,2)$
