Answer:

22.7%

Explanation:

Given that last year stock for company A was $7200

The stock for company B last year was worth $3510

Stock in company A decreased by 24%

This means the new value of stock for company A became;

(100-24)/100 *$7200

76/100*$7200

0.76*7200 =$5472

Stock in company B decreased by 20%

This means the new value of stock for company B became;

(100-20)/100 *$3510

80/100*$3510

0.8*$3510

$2808

Original investors stock value was = $7200+$3510 =$10710

New investors stock value is = $5472+$2808=$8280

Decrease in value of stock = $10710-$8280 =$2430

percentage decrease in stock value = decrease in stock/original value of stock *100%

=2430/10710 *100 =22.689

=22.7%

Suppose that y varies directly with x
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

  25/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct variation tells you that y is proportional to x. That means a reduction by a factor of 5/6 as x changes from 6 to 5 will result in a reduction of y by the same factor.

  y = (5/6)(5) = 25/6

A decorative floor pattern has 1 red square tile surrounded by 12 blue tiles. Wrote and evaluate an expression to show how many
ehidna [41]

This question is worded badly, so don't be alarmed.

Obviously if this were a square patter the number of red tiles could only be 1,4,9,16,25,36 etc and this is not the numbers given...It would help tremendously if they gave you another reference point so as to know how the tiles were being laid out.

If they are laid out alongside one another with a consistent border for each you wouldn't need 12 blue tiles for each red tile either...if two were laid side by side you would only need 20 blue tiles to have the border around both...you see how the arrangement makes a huge difference and you are given no details as to what that arrangement is...

So just to keep it simple, assume that each red tile is surrounded by 12 blue tiles....

Total tiles equals r+12r=13r

t=13r so

t(15)=195, t(20)=260, t(25)=325, t(30)=390
