-23/24 would be the right answer I think

- 1/3 -5/8
-8/24 - 15/24
-23/24

The first step is to find the least common denominator. The LCD of 3 and 8 is 24. Now, mulitply -1/3 by 8/8 and -5/8 by 3/3. This will give you fractions with equal denominators which you need to find before subtracting. Finally, you simplify the equation. Since this cannot be simplified, -23/24 is the answer

Mrac [35]
The total amount is "x", so, if 22.8 is 58%, "x" is the 100%,

\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
22.8&58\\
x&100
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{22.8}{x}=\cfrac{58}{100}\implies \cfrac{22.8\cdot 100}{58}=x

An employee compiled sales data for a company once each month. The scatter plot below shows the sales (in multiples of $1000) fo
svp [43]

Answer:

940

Step-by-step explanation:

The scatter plot below shows the sales (in multiples of $1000) for the company over time (in months).

Also the sales can be modeled by the help of a linear function as:

y = 0.94x + 12.5.

Now we know that the company's sales increase per month is the slope of the linear function by which this situation is modeled.

We know that for any linear function of the type:

y=mx+c

'm' represents the slope and 'c' represents the y-intercept of the line.

Hence, by looking at the equation we get:

m=0.94

but as the sales are multiplied by 1000.

Hence,

0.94×1000=$ 940.

Hence, the company's sales increase per month is:

$ 940
