Suppose the CPI has a value of 225.3 exactly one year ago, and the current value of this index is 231.16, a rise of 5.86 points.

Answer:

2.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the current CPI = 231.56

Previous CPI (CPI a year ago) = 225.3

Rate of inflation over the past year = current CPI - previous CPI/previous CPI × 100%

Rate of inflation = 231.56-225.3/225.3 × 100%

5.86/225.3× 100%

= 2.6%

Rate of inflation over the past year will be 2.6%

What is the perimeter of the polygon?

Welp. I sure hope you like the Pythagorean theorem...
Top line:
One point is (-2,-2) while the other is (3,-3)
Thus the distance in between is sqrt((3-(-2))^2+(-3-(-2))^2)=sqrt(5^2+(-1)^2)=sqrt(26)
Most right line:
One point is (4,-6) while the other is (3,-3)
Thus the distance in between is sqrt((3-4)^2+(-3-(-6))^2)=sqrt((-1)^2+3^2)=sqrt(10)
Most bottom line:
One point is (1,-6) while the other is (4,-6)
Thus the distance in between is sqrt(4-1)^2+(-6-(-6))^2)=sqrt(3^2+0^2)=sqrt(9)=3
Most bottom left line:
One point is (1,-6) while the other is (-2,-4)
Thus the distance in between is sqrt((1-(-2))^2+(-6-(-4))^2)=sqrt(3^2+(-2)^2)=sqrt(13)
Lastly the most left line:
One point is (-2,-2) while the other is (-2,-4)
Thus the distance in between is sqrt((-2-(-2))^2+(-2-(-4))^2)=sqrt(0^2+(2)^2)=sqrt(4)=2
Thus to find the perimeter, we add up all the sides to get
sqrt(26)+sqrt(10)+3+sqrt(13)+2=16.8668 or B

There were 200 people who voted at the Town council meeting all these people 40% voted for a new basketball court in the park ho
galben [10]

Answer:

120 people voted against building the new basketball court.

Step-by-step explanation:

if you divide 200 by 100 then you know how many people equal 1 percent of the 200. knowing that for every 2 people they are equal to 1 percent. so if you do 100 -40 you get 60. the 100 represents the 100 percent and you subtract 40 because these are the people who are voting for the basketball court. The 60 represents the percent of people who are voting against building the basketball court. then you multiply 60 by 2 and you get 120.

AB and BC form a right angle at their point of intersection. This means AB is perpendicular to BC.

We are given the coordinates of points A and B, using which we can find the equation of the line for AB.

Slope of AB will be:

m= \frac{-1-1}{14-2}=-1/6

Using this slope and the point (2,1) we can write the equation for AB as:

y-1= \frac{-1}{6}(x-2) \\  \\ 
y= -\frac{1}{6}x+ \frac{1}{3}+1 \\  \\ 
y=-\frac{1}{6}x+ \frac{4}{3} 


The above equation is in slope intercept form. Thus the y-intercept of AB is 4/3.

Slope of AB is -1/6, so slope of BC would be 6. Using the slope 6 and coordinates of the point B, we can write the equation of BC as:

y - 1 = 6(x - 2)
y = 6x - 12 + 1
y = 6x - 11

Point C lies on the line  y = 6x - 11. So if the y-coordinate of C is 13, we can write:

13 = 6x - 11
24 = 6x
x = 4

The x-coordinate of point C will be 4.

Therefore, the answers in correct order are:

4/3 ,  6,  -11,  4
