The total number of coins in Lucy's coin collection is equal to 80 coins.

Let the total number of coins be C.

Given the following data:

Percentage of quarters = 15%

Total number of quarters = 12 quarters

To the total number of coins in Lucy's coin collection:

Since the percentage of the quarters in Lucy's coin collection is equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the total number of coins. Thus, we would multiply the total number of coins by 15% and equate it to 12 quarters.

Total number of coins:

$\frac{15}{100} \times C = 12\\\\15C=12 \times 100\\\\15C =1200\\\\C=\frac{1200}{15}$

C = 80 coins.

What is the equation of this line in standard form? 8x−7y=−25 8x−9y=23 8x−9y=−23 9x−8y=23 Number graph ranging from negative fiv

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The equation of line is:

$8x-9y=-23$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a graph is a that passes through two points:

$(-4,-1)$ and $(\dfrac{1}{2},3)$

We know that the equation of line passing through two points:

$(a,b)$ and $(c,d)$ is given by:

$y-b=\dfrac{d-b}{b-a}\times (x-a)$

Here we have:

$(a,b)=(-4,-1)$ and $(c,d)=(\dfrac{1}{2},3)$

Hence, the equation of line is:

$y-(-1)=\dfrac{3-(-1)}{\dfrac{1}{2}-(-4)}\times (x-(-4))\\\\y+1=\dfrac{3+1}{\dfrac{1}{2}+4}\times (x+4)\\\\y+1=\dfrac{4}{\dfrac{9}{2}}\times (x+4)\\\\y+1=\dfrac{4\times 2}{9}\times (x+4)\\\\y+1=\dfrac{8}{9}\times (x+4)\\\\9\times (y+1)=8\times (x+4)\\\\9y+9=8x+8\times 4\\\\9y+9=8x+32\\\\8x-9y=9-32\\\\8x-9y=-23$

Hence the equation of line is:

$8x-9y=-23$

The price of a cup coffee was 2.40 yesterday. Today, the price fell to 2.15 find the percentage decrease. Round the answer to th

irakobra [83]

ANSWER

The percentage decrease is 10.4%.

EXPLANATION

To calculate percentage decrease, use the formula,

Percentage decrease

$= \frac{new \: price - old \: price}{old \: price} \times 100\%$

Yesterday the price of coffee was 2.40. This is the old price.

Today the price is 2.15. This is the new price.

$= \frac{2.15 - 2.40}{2.40} \times 100\%$

$= \frac{ - 0.25}{2.40} \times 100\%$

$= - 0. 10416667 \times 100\%$

$= - 10.416667\%$

To the nearest tenth, we have:

$- 10.4\%$

Therefore the percentage decrease is 10.4%.
