Slope: 3, y-intercept: 4, equation: y = 3x + 4
11.424242
isolate the repeating part
11+0.424242
focus on the repeating part
0.42424242
how many places till it repeats again?
2
let's say it is x
x=0.42424242
multiply by 100
100x=42.424242
subtract them
100x-x=42.42424242-0.42424242
the infinite repeats cancel and we get
99x=42
divide by 99

so
The percent of decrease on an item that went from $25 to $20 is 5 percent.
Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The one thing that changes in the problem is the milk. It goes from 8 oz. to 12 oz., so we are going to use the oz count to determine the amount of espresso. Since the amount of milk rose, so is the amount of espresso. Now, you take the larger number and divide it by the smaller number (12 / 8 = 1.5). This answer will tell you by what multiple it increased by. Once you have the multiple it increased by, you multiply that answer (1.5) by the other unknown changing number, so 1.5 x 1.5. Do this and you get 2.5.
Before we figure out how many customers you will need to talk per day to reach your goal, let's calculate what is 20% of how many customers you normally talk to a day.
current no. = 8
goal = 8 + 20%
20% = 8 x 0.20
(a percent is really just a fraction with the percent number over 100)
20% = 1.60
goal = 8 + 1.60
goal = 9.60
However, there is no such thing as .60 of a person so we will have to round up. You will need to talk to 10 customers per day.
