in a survey, 27% of people chose salads over a meat dish. In all, 81 people chose salads. How many people were in the survey?

Number of people that chose salad = 81
Percentage of people that chose salad over meat dish = 27%
Let us assume the number of people on the survey = x
Then
27% * x = 81
(27/100) * x = 81
27x = 81 * 100
27x = 8100
x = 8100/27
= 300
So a total of 300 people participated in the survey.I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. Based on this method you can always solve similar types of problems without requiring any kind of help from outside.

How many soultions does 5(x-3)+6=5x-9

olya-2409 [2.1K]

5(x - 3) + 6 = 5x - 9 has no solution

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

We have to find the number of solutions for the given equation

Given equation is:

5(x - 3) + 6 = 5x - 9

Multiply the terms inside with bracket with constant outside the bracket

5x - 15 + 6 = 5x - 9

Add the constants in left hand side of equation

5x - 9 = 5x - 9

If the coefficients are the same on both sides, then the sides will not equal, therefore no solutions will occur.

Here, 5x - 9 = 5x - 9

The coefficients are same in both sides of equation

Therefore, the equation has no solution

Answer:

1) The correct option is C. (2) The correct option is D. (3) The correct option is B. (4) The correct option is D. (5) The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

(1)

Two points are (-2,5) and (1,4).

$m=\frac{4-5}{1-(-2)}=\frac{-1}{3}tex]Therefore option C is correct.(2)Use the above mentioned formula for each pair of coordinates.[tex]m=\frac{10-13}{17-12}=\frac{-3}{5}$

$m=\frac{10-15}{13-16}=\frac{-5}{-3}=\frac{5}{3}$

$m=\frac{10-7}{3-0}=\frac{3}{3}=1$

$m=\frac{18-13}{8-11}=\frac{5}{-3}=\frac{-5}{3}$

Therefore option D is correct.

(3)

The pair of points (6, y) and (10, -1). The slope is $\frac{1}{4}$ .

$\frac{1}{4}=\frac{-1-y}{10-6}$

$\frac{1}{4}=\frac{-1-y}{4}$

$1=-1-y$

$y=-2$

Therefore option B is correct.

(4)

For vertical line the x coordinates always remains the same. Therefore when we subtract the same number we get zero in the denominator, therefore the value of slope is undefined for a vertical line.

Therefore option D is correct.

(5)

Two points from the table are (2,110) and (3,165).

$m=\frac{165-110}{3-2}=\frac{55}{1}$

Therefore option D is correct.
