Officer Brimberry wrote 8 tickets for traffic violations last week, but only 1 ticket this week. What is the percent decrease? Give your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

87.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of tickets written in the last week, T_(1)=8

Number of tickets written in this month, T_(2) =1

Difference in tickets written =T_(2)-T_(1)=8-1=7

Percent decrease =(T_(2)-T_(1))/(T_(1))* 100=(7)/(8)* 100=87.5

Therefore, percent decrease in tickets written is 87.5 %.

What are 2 fractions equivalent to 4/5

Answers

To find an equivalent fraction, multiply the numerator and the denominator each by the same number.

So with your fraction, you can multiply the top and bottom each by 2.
4*2 = 8
5*2 = 10

8/10 is equivalent to 4/5.

Now do the same thing but this time multiply by another number (integer) to get another equivalent fraction.
Multply 4/5 by 2 each time and you will get your answer.

I need help with this math equation. It's about quadratic equation.Identify a, b, and c in the following quadratic equation 3x^2−7x=12.
A=
B=
C=

Answers

Answer:

A = 3

B = -7

C = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2−7x=12.

The standard form for a quadratic equation is

Ax^2 +Bx +C =0

Subtract 12 from each side

3x^2−7x-12=12-12

3x^2−7x-12=0

A = 3

B = -7

C = -12

Answer:

a = 3

b = -7

c = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

General form of a quadratic:

ax² + bx + c

Given:

3x² − 7x = 12

3x² - 7x - 12 = 0

Comparing the two:

a = 3

b = -7

c = -12
