Answer:

Petroleum = 15.32%

Drugs = 12.9%

Chemicals = 2.5%

Motor Vehicles =  -56.5% (Negative)

Electrical =  -18.8% (Negative)

Food = 3.7%

Step-by-step explanation

Here we have to use the formula to find the percentage of increase.

Percentage of increase = Increased amount / original amount * 100

Let's find the percentage of increase of each firm from 1966 and 1974


Petroleum = ((12.8 - 11.1) ÷ 11.1)) *100 = (1.7 ÷ 11.1)*100 = 15.32%

Drugs = ((12.2 - 10.8) ÷ 10.8)) *100 = (1.4 ÷ 10.8)*100 = 12.9%

Chemicals = ((8.2 - 8) ÷ 8)*100 = (0.2 ÷ 8)*100 = 2.5%

Motor Vehicles = ((2.7 - 6.2)÷6.2)*100 = (-3.5÷6.2)*100 = -56.5% (Negative)

Electrical =  ((3.9 - 4.8)÷4.8)*100 = (-0.9÷4.8)*100 = -18.8% (Negative)

Food = ((2.8-2.7)÷2.7))*100 = (0.1 ÷2.7)*100 = 3.7%

Hope you will understand the concept.

Thank you.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

-3y^{9}

This value above is ONE term. Even though it is made up of more values and stuff, it is all one term BECAUSE they are all connect, so the -3 is with the y by multiplication, and the 9 is with -3y as an exponent of y.

In the figure, Δ ABC Δ XYZ. What is the perimeter of ΔABC? Show your work.
slava [35]

Answer:

49

Step-by-step explanation:

∆ABC~ ∆XYZ

AB= 11 that is half of XY = 22

therefore XZ/2 = AC (base) = 32/2 = 16

and YZ /2 = BC(hypotenuse) = 44/2 = 22

(a= 11, b= 16, c= 22)

perimeter of a triangle

P = a+b+c

P= 11+16+22= 49
