The price of a notebook was $3.60 yesterday. Today, the price fell to $3.10. Find the percentage decrease. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

13.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we find the amount of decrease.

$3.60 - $3.10 = $0.50

The price decreased $0.50.

Now we find what percent $0.50 is of $3.60.

percent = part/whole * 100%

percent = $0.50/$3.60 * 100%

percent = 0.13888 * 100% = 13.9%

13.9%

good luck!

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
