Finley’s pumpkin had a mass of 6.5 kilograms (kg) before he carved it. after carving it, the pumpkin had a mass of 3.9 kg. what was the percent decrease in the mass of the pumpkin?

Percent decrease in the mass of the pumpkin is 40% .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Where change in value = |Final value - Initial value|

As given

Finley’s pumpkin had a mass of 6.5 kilograms (kg) before he carved it.

After carving it, the pumpkin had a mass of 3.9 kg.

Final value = 3.9 kg

Initial value = 6.5 kg

Where

Change in value = |3.9 - 6.5|

Change in value = |-2.6|

                            = 2.6

Putting all the values in the formula

                           = 40%

Therefore percent decrease in the mass of the pumpkin is 40% .

(0.2)+(-8)=0.3+-3+0.3m is the equation i guess? ?

step-by-step explanation:

taxable income = $31000

as per the 2018-2019 us tax bracket, the tax rate is 12% for an individual whose taxable income is between $9,526 to $38,700.

so, the tax to be paid by him = 12% of 31000

= 0.12 * 31000     [12% converted to decimal as 0.12]

= $3720
