On the first day of june, there were about 17.71 h of daylight in a city. five months later, there were about 5.30 h of daylight. what was the percent decrease?

Percentage increases and decreases, are found by setting the problem up proportionally.

You are trying to find what percentage of 17.37 is 8.30 first.

so What %/100 = 8.30/17.37

Now define a variable:

Let x = What%  

x/100 = 8.30/17.37

17.37x = 830

x = 830/17.37

x ≈ 47.78

8.30 is approximately 47.78% of 17.37, so the percentage decrease is 100% - 47.78% = 52.22%

The percentage decrease is approximately 52.22%

ok one would be money, and the other would be refreshments or something similar. if each bag of popcorn is 5.00 and each drink is half of that that means drinks are 2.50 the proper way to do that would to look and see how much of each you can buy without exceeding a limit of 30.00

step-by-step explanation:

we can use this expression to calculate the energy gain as a particle moves with a field or the energy loss as it moves against it. (note that it is also used to define the electron-volt, a unit of energy equal to that gained by an electron as it falls through a pd of 1 v, i.e. w = 1 ev = 1.6 10-19 c 1 v = 1.6 10-19j).in fact this expression is really nothing more than the statement that potential is the potential energy per unit charge. in this case, v= w/qis simply stating that the change in potential energy(or work done) per unit charge is equal to the change in potential (or potential difference), v.student questions: uniform electric fields2electron beamcathode+5 kvanode0 v
