Before Christmas, the price of a shoe in a Heel's Store for Women was $79. At the post-Christmas sale, the price was $43. By what percent had the price of the shoe been reduced? Round your answer to 1 decimal place

54.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Find this by dividing 43 and 79:

Multiply this by 100 to convert to a percent (or just move the decimal to the left two spaces):

Round to the nearest tenth (one decimal place):

The price was reduced by about 54.4%

:Done

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )

wholesale price is the initial price before markup. retail price comes after the markup.

a price of 8 bucks that's marked up by 100%   is

formula: initial price + (percent markup in fraction/decimal)(initial price)

8+(1)(8)

8+8

16

retail price is $16.
