We have an equation: ?/40= 25/100

Cross multiply:
100*?= 25*40
⇒ ?= 25*40/100= 10

25% of 40 is 10~

10 because 25 goes into 100 4 times 40 divided by 4=10

Complete the equation of the graphed linear function. Write the slope in decimal form.

erma4kov [3.2K]

Every straight line graph has an equation in the same form:

   y = (slope of the line) x + (y-intercept) .

-- The slope of the line is

   (how far it goes UP, going left to right between any 2 points)
divided by
   (how far it goes left to right between the same 2 points) .

The line on this graph has a slope of + 1/2 .

-- The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
The line on this graph crosses the y-axis at -1 .

   y = (slope of the line) x + (y-intercept) .

   y = ( 0.5 ) x ( - 1 ) .

A tota of 17,100 seats are available for the next hockey game if 62% of the tickets are sold out how many seats are in the arena

Ainat [17]

Take 17100 divide by 100 the answer you get is the number of seats for 1% so to get 62%, multiply 17100/100 X 62 the answer is certainly 45,000

Y=2/3x+3,2x-3y=8 determine whether perpendicular or parallel

Studentka2010 [4]

Y=2/3x+3 so slope = 2/3

2x-3y=8
3y = 2x - 8
y = 2/3x - 8/3 so slope = 2/3

both equations have same slope = 2/3

so answer: parallel

Let’s pretend that we want to give our employees in total a28% raise in the next two years, but we want to spread out aconsisten

Roman55 [17]

Solution

- The solution steps are given below:

$\begin{gathered} \text{ Let the original amount be X} \\ \\ \text{ If we want a 28\% raise over the next two years, then it means that the amount will be:} \\ X+\frac{28}{100}X=1.28X \\ \\ \text{ If we want to give them a consistent raise each year, we can compute the scenario as follows:} \\ \text{ Let the percentage be }y \\ \\ X+y\%\text{ of }X=\text{ Salary after first year} \\ \\ (X+y\%\text{ of }X)+y\%\text{ of }(X+y\%\text{ of }X)\text{ = Salary after second year.} \\ \\ \text{ But we already know that the salary after second year is }1.28X \\ \text{ Thus, we can say:} \\ (X+y\%\text{ of }X)+y\%\text{ of }(X+y\%\text{ of }X)=1.28X \\ \\ \text{ Simplifying, we have:} \\ X+\frac{yX}{100}+\frac{y}{100}(X+\frac{yX}{100})=1.28X \\ \\ \text{ Divide through by }X \\ 1+\frac{y}{100}+\frac{y}{100}(1+\frac{y}{100})=1.28 \\ \\ \text{ Subtract 1 from both sides and expand the brackets} \\ \frac{y}{100}+\frac{y}{100}+(\frac{y}{100})^2=1.28-1=0.28 \\ \\ \frac{2y}{100}+(\frac{y}{100})^2=0.28 \\ \\ \text{ Multiply both sides by }100^2 \\ 200y+y^2=2800 \\ \\ \text{ Rewrite, we have:} \\ y^2+200y-2800=0 \\ \\ Solving\text{ the equation using the Quadratic formula, we have that:} \\ y=\frac{-200\pm\sqrt{200^2-4(-2800)}(1)}{2(1)} \\ \\ y=-213.137\text{ or }13.137 \\ \\ \text{ Since the change in salary is an increase, thus, the rate }y\text{ has to be positive.} \\ \text{ Thus, } \\ y=13.137\approx13.14\% \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

Final Answer

y = 13.14%
