Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of chocolate cakes = c

Number of lemon cakes = l

Total cakes = 27

c + l = 27 ---------------(I)

Total slices = 170

7c + 6l = 170  ---------------(II)

Multiply equation (i) by (-7) and then add. So, c will be eliminated and we can find the value of  l

(I) * (-7)        -7c - 7l = -189

(II)                <u>7c + 6l = 170  </u>   {Now add}

                         - l    = -19

l = 19

Plugin l = 19 in equation (I)

c + 19 = 27

c = 27 - 19

c = 8

Number of chocolate cakes = 8

Number of lemon cakes = 19

Identify the percent of change as an increase or decrease. Then find the percent of change. Round to the nearest tenth of a perc
bazaltina [42]

I'll do the first two problems to get you started. All problems shown will use the same formula.

===========================================

Problem 4

The formula to use is

C = 100*(B-A)/A

where

A = old value

B = new value

C = percent change

In this case, A = 12 and B = 36, so

C = 100*(B-A)/A

C = 100*(36-12)/12

C = 100*(24/12)

C = 100*2

C = 200%

We have a 200% increase. It is an increase because the value of C is positive.

===========================================

Problem 5

Use the same formula as in the previous problem. This time,

A = 75 is the old value

B = 25 is the new value

C = 100*(B-A)/A

C = 100*(25-75)/75

C = 100*(-50/75)

C = 100*(-2/3)

C = -66.6667%

C = -66.7%

The value of C is negative, so we have a percent decrease of roughly 66.7%
