the number of locally owned businesses in our town seems to be decreasing at a rate of 35 per year. If there are 860 locally owned businesses today, what number can we expect to have in 5 years?

685

Step-by-step explanation:

today: 860

in 1 year: 860 - 35 = 825

in 2 years: 825 - 35 = 790

in 3 years: 790 - 35 = 755

in 4 years: 755 - 35 = 720

in 5 years: 720 - 35 = 685

$20.01

step-by-step explanation:

the sale price is (1.00 - 0.77)($87), or 0.23($87), or $20.01.
