The population of the town in 1982 is 29995.2.

<h3>What is a percentage?</h3>

A ratio or value that may be stated as a fraction of 100 is called a percentage. And it is represented by the symbol '%'.

Given, the population in 2020 is 49992.

40 percentage of population

= 40 % of 49992

= 40 x 49992/100

= 19996.8

Now the population in 1982

= population in 2020 - 40% of population in 1982

= 49992 - 19996.8

= 29995.2

Therefore the population in 1982 is 29995.2.

Find the value of each missing variable. y=

e-lub [12.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

29x - 3 + 15x + 7 = 180° because these two angles are supplementary

if we add like terms

44x + 4 = 180

44x = 176 divide both sides by 44

x = 4

29x - 3 = 13y - 17 because alternate exterior angles has same measurement

since we found the value of x let's rewrite the equation

4 × 29 - 3 = 13y - 17

113 = 13y - 17

130 = 13y divide both sides by 13

10 = y

This probability distribution shows thetypical grade distribution for a Geometrycourse with 35 students.GradeАBсDFFrequency 5101

Serggg [28]

Probability is expressed as

number of favourable outcomes/total number of possible outcomes

Looking at the given scenario, the number os students that earned a grade of A is 5. Since we are concerned with these students, then, the number of favourable outcomes is 5.

The total number of students for all grades is 35. This means that the total number of possible outcomes is 35

Thus, the probability that a student earns a grade of A is

5/35

= 0.14

IS 71 OVER 20 SIMPLEST FORM?IF NOT WHATS THE ANSWER?

dem82 [27]

71/20 is not in simplest form because you need to change it into a mixed number by dividing 71 and 20 and putting the remainder over 20.

natali 33 [55]

You divide 125.6 by 3.14 which = 68.66
That's the diameter. so the nearest cm is 69cm
The radius is half of the diameter so to the nearest cm it is 34cm

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints (5,-9) and (-2,-2)

QveST [7]

Another way to solve this is to use the Midpoint Formula. The midpoint of a segment joining points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is

$\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} \right)$

So the midpoint of your segment is

$\left(\frac{5+(-2)}{2},\frac{-9+(-2)}{2}\right) = \left(\frac{3}{2},-\frac{11}{2} \right)$

Perhaps it helps to see that the x-coordinate of the midpoint is just the average of the x-coordinates of the points. Ditto for the y-coordinate of the midpoint; just average the y's.
