The Spring Middle School gym used to hold 350 people. Now, they are only able to hold 200 people. By what percent did the seating in the gym change? (round your percent to the tenths place)

43%

Step-by-step explanation:

Find What is the decrease percentage for 350 to 200?

Step by step workout

step 1 Address the formula, input parameters & values

Formula :

Difference

Initial Value

x 100 = Percent Decrease (%)

Initial Value X = 350 & New Value Y = 200

Decrease = (X - Y)

(350 - 200)

350

x 100 = ?

step 2 Apply the values in the percentage decrease {(X - Y)/X x 100} formula

=(350 - 200)

350

x 100

=150

350

x 100

= 42.8571%

(350 - 200)

350

x 100 = 42.8571%

The percentage reduction can be written as 57.1429% of 350.

42.8571 percent decrease (%↓) or reduction from 350 is 200.

If you round it you get 43%

Hope this helps.

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
