You set it up as a y=mx+b problem 150=55x+40 then you subtract 40 from 150 making 110=55x so x=2
35% of 120 is 42. (42/32 then multiply that by 100)
92% of 125 is 115. (115/92 then multiply that by 100)
1. I feel the need to explain things first before I write the numeric value.
Let x be the total number of students in the school. 25% of this value is given to be 35.
(0.25)x = 35
The value of x is 140. 75% of this value is the answer which is equal to 105.
2. Let y be the alternative schools. With this, the number of charter schools is 2x - 6 which is equal to 52
2x - 6 = 52
The value of x is 29. Therefore, there are 29 charter schools.
Given the function s(t) = -9 -3t, differentiating the function gives the instantaneous velocity.
s’(t) = -3
This means that the velocity is not a function of time and is therefore constant. The velocity at t = 8 ( or any time for that matter) is -3 units/time.
