Answer: (2.75-2.40)/(2.75) * 100 [Before rounding to the nearest tenth]

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for percentage decrease = (old-new)/(old) * 100

so substituting in, you get (2.75-2.40)/(2.75) * 100

From here, you can just plug this into a calculator (don't have on me rn)

Anna went from home to school with the speed 3 km/hour. She ran back home with the speed 6 km/hour.Her sister Olga went to schoo
PIT_PIT [208]
Let:
v = Olga's speed
t = the time Anna spent going to school (3 km/hour)
t/2 = the time Anna spent running back home with speed of 6 km/hour
So, t + t/2 = 3t/2 is the total time
In the meantime distance = speed*time and the both made the same distance we can put it as:
3t + 6*(t/2) = (3t/2)*v
6t = (3/2)tv divide both sides by t 
(3/2)v = 6
v = 2*6/3
v = 4 km/hour
Olga's speed was 4 km/hour.

If y-3x=9, 7x+y=25, what is the value of x and y?
lianna [129]

\bold{\rm{Given}}\text{ : If y - 3x = 9, 7x + y = 25, what is the value of x and y}?

\bold{\rm{Solution}} \text{: We'll solve this by substitution method}

\dashrightarrow  y - 3x = 9 \\  \\  \dashrightarrow   \boxed{y = 9 + 3x } \qquad .. \sf eq(1)

\text{we got the value of y now getting the value of x}

\looparrowright 7x + y = 25 \\  \\  \looparrowright 7x = 25 - y \\  \\  \looparrowright  \boxed{x =   \frac{25 - y}{7}} \qquad .. \sf eq(2)

\text{Now, putting y = 9 + 3x in eq(2)}

\hookrightarrow  x =  \frac{25 - y}{7}   \\  \\ \hookrightarrow  x =  \frac{25 - 9 + 3x}{7}  \\  \\ \hookrightarrow  7x =  25 - 9 + 3x \\  \\ \hookrightarrow  7x - 3x =  16 \\  \\ \hookrightarrow  4x = 16 \\  \\ \hookrightarrow  x =  \frac{16}{4}  \\  \\ \star \quad  \boxed{ \green{ \frak{ x = 4}}}

\text{Now we know the value of x, for getting y we need to put x in eq(1)}

: \implies y = 9 + 3x \\  \\   : \implies y = 9 + 3(4) \\  \\  : \implies y = 9 + 12  \\  \\    \star \quad  \boxed{\frak{  \green{y = 21}}}

\text{Hence, values of x and y are} \:  \frak{ \green{4}}  \: \text{and} \:  \frak{ \green{21}} \: \text{respectively}.
