Last year, Austin, Texas received 23.5 inches of rainfall. This year, Austin received 21.2 inches of rainfall. Find the percent of decrease in the number of inches of rainfall. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent, if necessary.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Let's consider that 23.5 is 100% of rainfall.
23.5 ..... 100 %
21.2 ..... x %

Calculate x:
x = (21.2 \cdot 100)/(23.5) = 90.212766, which is around 90.2%.

The percent of decrease is 100 - 90.2 = 9.8 %.

Round 23.017 to the nearest tenth

Answers

Well this would be 23.000 because you know that you can move a number up when the number next to it is more than 5 and the number 1 is next to the zero that is in the tenths place so that will become zero because it is less than 5.

Is 7/20 equivalent to 7 hundreds

Answers

No. 7/20 is NOT equivalent to 7 hundreds or 7 hundredths.

7 hundreds is 700 in standard form.

7/20 will become a decimal number. It is equal to 0.35

0.35 is not equal to 700.

7 hundredths in decimal form is 0.07

0.35 is still not equal to 0.07.
