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%

!!!3 QUESTIONS!!!
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

1.) He still owes $100 of debt

2.) 1 rose would be .75 cents and 1 carnation would be .90 cents

3.) C 8 and 3/8

Step by Step explanation

(/ means divided by in the first 2 equations but / in the last question is for the fractions.)

1.) _(1,500 / 3 =500. 1,500 - 500 =1,000 / 5 =200 x 3 =600. 700 - 600 =$100)

2.)_(1.50/2 =.75 cents. 2.70/3 =.90 cents.)

3.) i first added the fractions ( i equalized them) then i added the whole numbers (the u in the equation was to separate the whole num. and fraction )

Before i equalized it: (6u3/4 + 1u1/8 = 7u1/8 + 1/8 = 8u3/8)

After i equalized it: (6u6/8 + 1u1/8 = 7u1/8 + 1/8 = 8u3/8)

HELP
Inga [223]

Answer:

3.75 quarts, rounded to 3.8 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

3 quarts of solution is 10% antifreeze, so 0.3 quarts are already antifreeze, and 2.7 quarts are not.

a(the antifreeze we already have)+x(what we're going to add)= 1.5*2.7

Let me explain. If we have 60% antifreeze, 40% is not. 60/40=1.5

Substitute a for 0.3

0.3+x=4.05  Subtract 0.3 from both sides

x=3.75
