Answer:

40.53%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage Increase = \frac{New Value - Old Value}{Old Value}\times100

Here, New Value = 960÷100,000

Old Value = 190÷ 100,000

∴ Percentage Increase = \dfrac{\frac{960}{100,000} - \frac{190}{100 ,000} }{\frac{190}{100,000}}\times100

⇒ Percentage Increase = 40.53%

Thus, percent increase in the male incarceration rate during given period is 40.53%.

Tomtit [17]
In the problem, how do you get 6,300,000 using the digits 1-7 to create a seven-digit number that can be rounded to 6,300,000. We can use the numbers according to the rule of rounding values, 0-4 and 5-9. Hence the numbers are:

Which of the following illustrate the commutative property? select all that apply
Genrish500 [490]

For this case we have that the commutative property establishes that the order of the factors does not alter the product. Example:

5 * 6 = 6 * 5\\4 + 3 = 3 + 4

Then we have the following options illustrate the property:

3 + 4 + 6 = 3 + 6 + 4 = 13\\9 * 2 * 7 = 7 * 9 * 2 = 126\\2 + 3 + 1 = 3 + 1 + 2 = 6\\5 + 2-4 = 5-4 + 2 = 3

It is necessary to emphasize that option b illustrates the associative property and in option c equality is not fulfilled

Answer:

Option A, D, E, F

Oscar is buying 4 new tires for his car. He has $240 budgeted for the tires, but can afford to pay $35 more or less than that am
Pachacha [2.7K]

Given that the dealer sells a dozen tires for $240, every 3-tire set costs $60. There are six 2-tire sets in a dozen. Thus, his total revenue should be $360. The total profit is the difference between the total revenue and the total cost. The answer is therefore, the first choice, $120.
