Hello there! We are looking for the amount of total sales. To find the amount of total sales, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:

180/x = 3/100

We do this, because 180 is part of the whole, 3% is a part of 100%. This proportion will help us get to the correct answer. Let's cross multiply. 180 * 100 is 18,000. 3 * x is 3x. that makes 18,000 = 3x. Now, divide each side by 3 to isolate the x. 3x/3 cancels out. 18,000/3 is 6,000. Let's check this. 6,000 * 3% (0.030 is 180. 180 = 180. There. x = 6,000. The amount of sales is $6,000.

Find the slope of the line that passes through (3, 7) and (6, 8).
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Slope = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step 1: Define general form of equation of line</em>

An equation of a straight line on two-dimensional plane could be represented in form of: y = Mx + b, with M is slope and b is y-intercept

<em>Step 2: Set up the system to solve for slope M of equation of line</em>

That equation passes 2 points, which are represented in form of (x, y), (3, 7) and (6, 8).

Substitute these values of x and y into the original equation in step 1:

7 = 3M + b

8 = 6M + b

<em>Step 3: Solve the system of equations in step 2 for M</em>

Subtract 1st equation from 2nd equation:

8 - 7 = 6M - 3M + b - b

Simplify both sides:

1 = 3M

Divide both sides by 3:

=> M = 1/3

Hope this helps!
