Answer:

300 students were surveyed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Percentage of students at Rockwood Junior High School who speak Spanish = 12%

Number of students at Rockwood Junior High School who speak Spanish = 36

We have to find the total number of students who surveyed:

Formula:

Let x be the total number of students who were surveyed.

12\% \text{ of }x = 36\\\\\displaystyle\frac{12}{100}\times x = 36\\\\x = \frac{36\times 100}{12}\\\\x = 300

Thus, 300 students were surveyed.

The amount of profit, p, you earn by selling knives,k, can be determined by:p=200k-500. A) determine the constraints on profit a
Marizza181 [45]
The only restraints on profit result from the restriction on the domain which in turn place a restriction on profit.  

0≤k. Knives sold cannot be negative.

So the range of profit or p is:

p=[-500, +oo)

Profit increases as the number of knives sold increases.  $200 more profit is gained by each sale of a knife.

4000=200k-500

4500=200k

k=22.5

Since k is for knives sold, it must be an integer value, so a $4000 profit is not possible.  At 22, p=3900 and at 23, p=4100
