Hello! $800 was the past amount for rent and now it's $900. 900 - 800 is 100. that's a $100 difference. In order to find the percent increase in the rent, we can write and sovle a proportion. It would be set up as change/original = x/100, where change is difference between two numbers and original is the previous price. It would be set up like this:

100/800 = x/100

Let's crossmultiply the values. 100 * 100 is 10,000. 800 * x is 800x. That makes 10,000 = 800x. Now, divide each side by 800 to isolate the x. 800x/800 cancels out. 10,000/800 is 12.5 or 12.5%. Let's check this by multiplying by 112.5%. 800 * 112.5% (1.125) is 900. That's what we're looking for! There. x = 12.5%. The percent increase is 12.5%.

Jim is investing in the stock market. Jim is hoping to earn $2,000 in interest in order to take a trip to Mexico. Stock A earns
Vanyuwa [196]

Given:

Total amount for investment = $32000

Rate of interest for Stock A = 4%

Rate of interest for Stock B = 7%

Jim is hoping to earn $2,000 in interest.

To find:

The amount of investments in Stock A and Stock B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let amount of investments in Stock A = $x

Amount of investments in Stock B = $y

Total amount for investment = $32000

x+y=32000        ...(i)

Rate of interests in Stock A and Stock B are 4% and 7%. Total interests is $2000.

0.04x+0.07y=2000           ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get

0.04x+0.07(32000-x)=2000

0.04x+2240-0.07x=2000

-0.03x=2000-2240

-0.03x=-240

Divide both sides by -0.03.

x=\dfrac{-240}{-0.03}

x=8000

Put x=8000 in (i).

8000+y=32000  

y=32000-8000  

y=24000  

Therefore, the amount of investments in Stock A and Stock B are $8000 and $24000 respectively.

PLEASE HELP ASAP f(x) = x2 What is g(x)?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

c. g(x) = 4x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

From a first glance, since g(x), is skinnier than f(x), meaning that it is increasing faster, so I know that I can eliminate options A & B since the coefficient on x needs to be greater than 1.

We can then look and see that g(1) = 4 as shown by the point given to us on the graph.

To find the right answer we can find g(1) for options C & D and whichever one matches the point on the graph is our correct answer. e

Option C:

once we plug in 1 for x, our equation looks like

4(1)^2.

1^2 = 1, and 4(1) = 4,

so g(1) = 4. and our point is (1,4).

This is the same as the graph so this is the CORRECT answer.

If you want to double check, you can still find g(1) for option D and verify that it is the WRONG answer.

Option D:

once we plug in 1 for x, our equation looks like

16(1)^2

1^2 = 1, and 16(1) = 16,

so g(1) = 16. and our point is (1,16).

This is different than the graph so this is the WRONG answer.
