To solve this proportion, we must use the percent proportion equation, 

a/b=p/100

If we put in our known variables, we get the equation

a/13000=22/100

Net, we use cross products to simplify this equation, or multiplying the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of another fraction and setting them equal to one another.

100a=286000

Finally, we divide both sides by the coefficient of the variable, to get it alone:

a = 2860

Therefore, 2860 people out of the total 13000 people that live in Centerville are under the age of 18.

PLEASE PLEEAASE HELP!! You have a 5-question multiple-choice test. Each question has four choices. You don’t know any of the ans
Rasek [7]
<span>The number of ways to permute three correct answers among five questions is 5Choose3 which is 5!/(3!*2!) which equals 10. We must then have the correct answer three times which happens .25 of the time, and two wrong answers 75 of the time. So the probability is 10*0.25^3*.75^2 which is 0.087890625 or roughly an 8.8% chance.</span>

Which is the graph of the system of inequalities
Leni [432]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Try testing each graph by picking a point on the shaded region or none shaded region.

-1/5 and 6= y-intercept

4/5 and 2= slope

You may notice that it is in y-intercept form. So to find where the shaded region goes, test a coordinate and apply it to the equation, if the answer is false, than half of the line is not where the shaded region goes.
