The total number of points scored on the test woukd be 200. the independent variable would be x, or the number of questions answered correctly. the dependent would be the points scored because the points scored depends on how good you did on the test.
It can be both because there are diffrent sizes
15% becomes 0.15
multiply it by 8700
0.15x8700=1305
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is better understood with a given figure. Assuming
that the flight is in a perfect northwest direction such that the angle is 45°,
therefore I believe I have the correct figure to simulate the situation (see
attached).
Now we are asked to find for the value of the hypotenuse
(flight speed) given the angle and the side opposite to the angle. In this
case, we use the sin function:
sin θ = opposite side / hypotenuse
sin 45 = 68 miles per hr / flight
flight = 68 miles per hr / sin 45
<span>flight = 96.17 miles per hr</span>
