When talking about surveys (and most other things) we use 100% as the cap. You can not work harder than 100% efficiency and you can not have more than 100% of people agree with you. You can think of this as a pie.
A whole pie would be 100%
A half a pie 50%
Etc.
You can not have more than a whole pie (without adding another pie or variable in this case)
So when you look at this problem with that analogy in mind, all it is is simple addition and subtraction.
If you create a survey and 82% of people vote yes, how many, out of 100%, voted yes.
To find this we take 100% (The whole pie or everybody who voted) and - the portion of the pie we ate or everyone who voted yes, 82%, which will give us the answer, everyone who voted no or the pie that is left on the platter.
So your equation would be 100 - 82 =18
18% of people interview used internet someplace other than in the home. <span />
We can assume that this growth rate can be expressed as y = mx + b as long as the slope is constant, because a quadratic or exponential formula wouldn't make much sense in this situation. If it is growing at least 2 inches a month, the slope (m) will be 2. As x (month) increases by 1 month, y (plant's height) increases by 2 inches. You could make it more, but as long as you plot the points in such a way that the slope for these points are 2 or higher, you will get the answer correct. If you have any other questions or need to clarify more about what you wanted let me know and I'll help.
Answer: 3 days
Step-by-step explanation: It would take 3 days for seven hens to 7 lay eggs because each hen lays an egg each day.
1 hen/1 egg = 3 days
7 hens/7 days = 14 eggs
7 hens/3 days = 7 eggs
