Answer:

40% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find the value decrease of the item from yesterday to today

$65 - $39 = $26

That means that $65 was 100% of the price and decreasing it by 26 gets us to 39

We need to find the percentage of 39 in 65

39/65 = 0.6 or 60%

If 39 is 60% of 65, then there was a 40% decrease form 100%

To check we can calculate the percentage of 26 in 65:

26/65 = 40%

There was a 40% decrease

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

22 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Sean has 2 3/4 candy bars. That is 11/4 candy bars.

He wants to give out 1/8 candy bars.

The number of people that will get candy is:

$\frac{11}{4} / \frac{1}{8}\\ \\= \frac{\frac{11}{4} }{\frac{1}{8}} \\\\\frac{11}{4} * \frac{8}{1} \\\\22$

22 people can get candy.

Suppose the correlation between height and weight for adults is +0.40. What proportion (or percent) of the variability in weight

Schach [20]

Answer:

We are given the correlation between height and weight for adults is 0.40.

We need to find the proportion of the variability in weight that can be explained by the relationship with height.

We know that coefficient of determination or R-square measures the proportion or percent of variability in dependent variable that can be explained by the relationship with independent variable. There the coefficient of determination is given below:

$R^{2}=r^{2}=0.40^{2}=0.16$

Therefore, the 0.16 or 16% of the variability in weight can be explained by the relationship with height

WILL MARK BRAINLY IF CORRECT!

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$12( - \frac{1}{6}x - \frac{2}{3}y = - 5)$

$5( \frac{2}{5} x + \frac{1}{5} y = - 9)$

When we multiply we obtain the equations:

$- 2x - 8y = - 60$

$2x + y = - 45$

We add both equations to obtain:

$- 7y = - 105$

Divide both sides by -7 to get:

$y = \frac{105}{7} = 15$
