Mathematics

7 0

Answer:

a) 25% are bad

b) 75% are good

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 300 oranges total and that 75 are bad. That means that the rest are good (implied).

300 - 75 = 225 good oranges.

So to find the percentage we have to take the selected amount divided by the total amount.

Bad Apples:                               Good Apples:

75 / 300 = 0.25                          225/300 = 0.75

However, that's a decimal or <em>a number out of 1, </em>we need a percent or <em>a number out of 100.</em> So we have to multiply both numbers by 100.

Bad Apples = 25%

Good Apples = 75%

Which equation represents the line that passes through (-3,5) and is parallel to the graph of y= -2/3x+5
Nostrana [21]
Parallel to the graph of y = -2/3x + 5
means that it has the same slope

Rewrite
y = -2/3x + b
plug in the given coordinates to solve for b
5 = -2/3(-3) + b
5 = 2 + b
subtract 2 from both sides
3 = b

plug that back into the equation
y = -2/3x + b
y = -2/3x + 3

The answer is <span>B. y= -2/3x+3</span>

This line is parallel to y = -2/3x + 5 and it passes the point (3, 5).

Hope this helps :)
