Answer:the percentage decrease is 36.67%
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial amount of sugar in his diet is 15 spoons in a day. Currently, the amount of sugar in his diet is 9 1/2 spoons in a day. Converting to decimal, it becomes 9.5 spoon in a day. The amount by which he reduced his sugar intake is 15 - 9.5 = 5.5 spoons.
Percentage decrease would be expressed as
Amount by which the intake decreased/ initial intake × 100
It becomes
5.5/15 × 100 = 36.67%
recall that when it comes to absolute value expressions, once we remove the bars, it turns always to positive, so | -5 |, the bars go poof, and tada!! 5.
Multiply all terms by 12/1 to get rid of fractions.
8x+2= -9x+12
Add 9x to both sides
17x+2=12
Subtract 2 from both sides
17x=10
Divide both sides by 17
x=10/17
Final answer: x=10/17
Angles RZT, RZS, and TZS form triangle RZT, so they sum to 180. Thus, we have:
110+3s+8s=180
Simplifying, we have:
11s=70
Dividing by 11, we see that:
s=70/11
Therefore, RZS=3s=210/11, and TZS=8s=560/11.
I think it is $15.12
I hope that helps!!!!!!
