Answer: Answer: 2.1 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Decrease = initial price - final price

% decrease = [ (initial price - final price)  / initial price ] *100

% decrease =[ (2.89 - 2.83) / 2.89] * 100 =  2.08, which can be rounded to 2.1

The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 316. Find the two odd integers.
Tcecarenko [31]
1, 3, 5, 7, 9 ......
notice, there are consecutive odd integers, every other number
skip one, another, skip one, another and so on

so, from 1 to 3, is 1 + 2 =3
5 is 3 +2
7 is 5+2
and so on

let us pick an odd integer, hmmm say "a"
to find the next odd one, it'd be "a + 2" of course :)

we know their sum is 316
so \bf a+(a+2)=316\impliedby \textit{solve for "a"}

once you found "a", the next one is, well, "a + 2" :)

What is 1 3/4 - 5/6r =8/3
fenix001 [56]
1 3/4 - 5/6r = 8/3

-5/6r + 7/4 = 8/3

-5/6r +7/4 - 7/4 = 8/3 -7/4
-5/6r = 11/12

(6/-5)*(-5/6r)=(6/-5)*(11/12)
=-11/10

r = -1 1/10
