Answer: 27.5625 or 27.6
Explanation:
A square has even side lengths so each side equals 5 1/4 or 5.25. So you take two sides and multiply them together. In other words, 5.25•5.25. Then you get roughly 27.6 rounded
4^3 is 64 and 3^4 is 81. Therefore the answer to the circled question is -17.
Let the cost of one cup of hot chocolate be = x
Let the cost of one cup of hot tea be = y
Paul paid $ 25.50 for 3 cups of hot chocolate and 4 cups of tea.
Equation becomes = 
...(1)
As given, the cost of each cup of tea was 2/3 the cost of each cup of hot chocolate.
.... (2)
Putting the value of y from (2) in (1)
=
=
=
x=4.5
=
y =3
Hence each cup of hot chocolate is $4.50
Each cup of tea is $3.
Old price: p1 = $ 3.90;
New price: p2 = $ 3.40.
The percentual decrease is given by
d(%) = [ (p2 - p1) / p1 ] * 100 %
d(%) = [ (3.40 - 3.90) / 3.90 ] * 100 %
d(%) = [ - 0.50 / 3.90 ] * 100 %
d(%) = - 0.128 * 100 %
d(%) = - 12.8 % (approximately)
So the price fell 12.8 % approximately.
I hope this helps. =)
