The sales was increased by 44.4%.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Lets do this cumulative
- 90 of 10 % = 9 which is 99
- 90 of 10 % = 9 which is 108
- 90 of 10% = 9 which is 117
- 90 of 10% = 9 which is 126
- 90 of 4 % = 3.6 which is 129.6
- 90 of 0.044% = 0.0396 which is 129.99
- This comes to nearly 44.44 to be closer there was an increase.
- Always rule 1 approximation use 50% of 90 if it is above 130.
- Down it to 40% of 90 see if the sales is lower than 130.
- It should always start with 50,40,30....10 percents.
- Alternative should be 10,1 or decimals.
- Approximation using decimals rounding up becomes simple.
Answer:
The equation you are asking for is
40*(t+3) = 55*t,
where t is the time counted after the second car started.
The equation says that the distance covered by each car from the starting point to the catching point is the same for both cars.
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
<span>compute the average: add the values and divide by 6
Average =(44+ 46+40+34+29+41)/6=39
step 2
</span><span>Compute the deviations from the average
dev: (44-39)=5,
</span>dev: (46-39)=7
dev: (40-39)=1
dev: (34-39)=-5
dev: (29-39)=-10
dev: (41-39)=2
step 3
<span>Square the deviations and add
sum (dev^2): 5^2+7^2+1</span>^2+-5^2+-10^2+2^2
sum (dev^2): 25+49+1+25+100+4-----> 204
step 4
<span>Divide step #3 by the sample size=6
(typically you divide by sample size-1 to get the sample standard deviation,
but you are assuming the 6 values are the population,
so
no need to subtract 1, from the sample size.
This result is the variance
Variance =204/6=34
step 5
</span><span>Standard deviation = sqrt(variance)
standard deviation= </span>√<span>(34)------> 5.83
the answer is
5.83</span>
