Answer:
3. testify in court on behalf of immigrants
Special interest groups, for example, immigrants themselves, have the right, in a pluralistic society, to testify on behalf of immigrants.
4. get a Senator to introduce legislation to ensure healthcare for Hispanic children
As long as the special interest group uses arguments, and not money, it has the right to try to convince a senator to induce particular legislation.
5. meet with Congressional leaders to ask for the protection of religious minorities
This situation is similar to the one above. Special interest groups can meet with Congress people and try to convince them of certain acts or legislation, like for example, protecting religious minorities.
The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures.
The percent of increase in sales from last year to this year is 5%.
Since the current vacuum sales is compared to the previous vacuum sales, the previous vacuum sales will be used as the basis of either increase or decrease of sales in the current year. In this instance, it is increase in sales.
We simply divide 567 by 540 and multiply the quotient with 100% and deduct 100% from the product to get the percent increase.
567 / 540 = 1.05 x 100% = 105% - 100% = 5% percent of increase.
or simply get the difference in sales and divide it by the previous sales and multiply by 100%
567 - 540 = 27 / 540 = 0.05 x 100% = 5%
