Suppose the price of a certain item decreases by 5.2% a total of 5 times, and then increases by 1.4% a total of 3 times. by what overall percent did the price decrease?

round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

So percent decrement in price will be 20.17 %  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of item is x

It is given that price is decreases 5.2 % five times and increases 1.4 % three times

So price of item after detriment of 5.2 % five times and increment of of 1.4 % three times =

=

Decrements in price =

%v decrements =

So percent decrement in price will be 20.17 %

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
