The answer is 114.5%.

Let the original population be denoted by x.

Now, let's go through the percentage increase per year.

<u>Year 1</u>

  • x (1 + 20%)
  • x (1.2)
  • 1.2x

<u>Year 2</u>

  • 1.2x (1 + 25%)
  • 1.2x (1.25)
  • 1.5x

<u>Year 3</u>

  • 1.5x (1 + 30%)
  • 1.5x (1.3)
  • 1.95x

<u>Year 4</u>

  • 1.95x (1 + 10%)
  • 1.95x (1.1)
  • 2.145x

Overall increase : 214.5% - 100% = 114.5%

Hence, the overall percentage increase in these 4 years is 114.5%.

Find the equation of a line which is parallel to y= 2/5 x + 17 and passes through (-15,12)
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

y = 2/5x + 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

The line will have the same slope of 2/5.

Using the point-slope form of a line:

y - 12 = 2/5(x - -15)

y - 12 = 2/5(x + 15)

y = 2/5x + 6 + 12

y = 2/5x + 18.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Monday, at 12:15 AM

Step-by-step explanation:

Do this question in parts. First, add 2 days to Friday to get Sunday at 5:45 PM. Then, add 6 hours to 5:45 to get 11:45 PM. Finally, add 30 minutes to 11:45 PM. That takes you to 12:15, and since you passed midnight, Sunday is now Monday. That means the bus arrives Monday, at 12:15 AM.

Which new angle is created by extending one side of a triangle
8090 [49]

Answer: The correct option is (C). an exterior angle.

Step-by-step explanation: We are to select the name of the new angle that is created by extending one side of a triangle.

Let ABC be a triangle as shown in the attached figure.

∠ABC, ∠ACB and ∠BAC are three interior angles of the triangle ABC.

Let us extend the side BC towards C to point D. The newly created angle is ∠ACD.

∠ACD is called the exterior angle of ΔABC.

Therefore, the newly created angle is an exterior angle.

Thus, option (C) is correct.
