300 cookies were ordered to start. 

We can tell this because we know 12% is equal to 36. Because this is true, we can set up a proportion to solve. All proportions can be set up with the small number on top and the total on the bottom. This will help you solve for the missing number, which is in this case the total number of cookies.  Let x be the total number of cookies.  

Percentage/total percentage = cookies/cookies total 
12/100 = 36/x

Now we can cross multiply to solve. 
(100)(36) = (12)(x) ----> multiply 
3600 = 12x ---> divide by 12
300 = x

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Using α as reference angle:

Perpendicular side = BC (one of the legs that adjoins to form a right angle. It is opposite to the reference angle.)

Base side = AB (The other leg that forms a right angle with the perpendicular side at the adjoining point. It is adjacent to the reference angle)

Hypotenuse = AC (the side opposite to the right angle, 90°)

Using β as reference angle:

Perpendicular side = AB (one of the legs that adjoins to form a right angle. It is opposite to the reference angle.)

Base side = BD (The other leg that forms a right angle with the perpendicular side at the adjoining point. It is adjacent to the reference angle)

Hypotenuse = AD (the side opposite to the right angle, 90°)

Samantha works at an animal shelter. She decides to track the total number of kittens that are brought in. The equation k=4w+3 r
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation k=4w+3 represents the total number of kittens, where w represents <u>the number of weeks that have passed since Samantha started counting.</u>

This means options C and D are false, because they say <u>the total number of kittens that have come into the shelter</u>.

w represents the number of weeks, weeks can be counted 0 weeks, first week, second week and so on, so option B is true (the domain is all whole numbers) because 0, 1, 2, 3, ... are whole numbers.

Number of weeks can't be a negative number. Since "real numbers" include negatives, therefore, we exclude option A.
