<h2>Steps</h2>
So here are a couple expressions when a value changes by percentage (p = percentage in decimal form and m = original value):
- When <em>decrease</em>: (1 - p)m
- When <em>increase</em>: (1 + p)m
So firstly, the $80 share dropped by 15%. Since this is a <em>decrease</em>, follow the appropriate expression:

<em>On Tuesday, the share went from $80 to $68</em>
Next, on Wednesday the share increased by $7. With this, just add $68 and 7.

<em>On Wednesday, the share went from $68 to $75</em>
Lastly, on Thursday the share increased by 12%. Since this is an <em>increase</em>, follow the appropriate expression:

<h2>Answer</h2>
<u>The final price of the share is $84.</u>
All of the centra angles in a regular polygon must add up to 360 degrees. Also, because you're told that it is a regular polygon, the "regular" indicates that all of the central angles will be the same. Divide 360 degrees by 18 degrees to get the number of central angles, which is the same as the number of sides. 360/18 = 20. Therefore, the polygon has 20 sides. Hope that helps!
(11*5)+(4*10)=95
11+4=15
Both are equal to the constraints of the word problem and there for justified.
To answer this you will need to determine which area made with the 12 square tiles would give the shortest perimeter.
Think of all the combinations to get 12 square inches
1x12, 2x6, and 3x4. The perimeters of these are 26 in, 16 in, and 14 in.
You should arrange your tiles using the 3 x 4 option. You would need 14 stones.
