Percent decrease : (original number - new number) / original number..*100
= (225,000 - 191,250) / 225,000.....* 100
= 33,750 / 225,000....* 100
= 0.15 * 100
= 15% decrease <==
A. When you add to negative numbers, it is always negative. A positive + a positive is positive. In D, the answer is always 0. 1 + -1 is 0. In C, it varies. The bigger number not including the negative sign is the sign the number has. For example, -6 + 5 = -1. 6 is bigger than 5. You subtract the smaller number from the bigger number and that is the answer. You would then tack on the negative sign because it is -6, and 6 is bigger than 5.
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
Reflection is a rigid transformation, so the side length does not change.
A'B' = 7
3 3/8 = 27/8
So (27/8)/(9/1)
(27)(1)/ (8)(9)
The answer is 27/72 or 3/8
Ranking is very critical in this problem. Therefore, the most applicable mathematical theory is permutations.
Ranking possible for the cellists:
Needed cellists = 5
Total available cellists = 10
Possible number of rankings = 10P5 = 10!/(10-5)! = 30240
Ranking possible for the violinists:
Needed violinists = 5
Total available = 16
Possible number of rankings = 16P5 = 16!/(16-5)! = 524160
Therefore,
Ratio of rankings (cellists to violinists) = 30240/524160 = 3/52
