This is an increase and it increased by 40% because the difference between 140 and 100 is 40 which is 40% of 100.
Answer: the first one is True and the second one is false
Step-by-step explanation:
3 + 5x = 23
so replace x with 4 you get 3 + 5 * 4 = 3 + 20 = 23
this is equal to 23 so it is true
2x - 6 = 9
do the same you get
2 * 8 - 6 = 9
16 - 6 = 10
the answer is 10 not nine therefore it is false
I assume the sentences:
"23 employees speak German; 29 speak French; 33 speak Spanish"
mean these speak ONLY the respective languages other than English.
Then the calculations boil down to those who speak ONLY two languages, noting that 8 speak French, German and Spanish, which need to be subtracted from
1. French and Spanish: 43-8=35 (speak only two foreign languages)
2. German and French: 38-8=30 (speak only two foreign languages)
3. German and Spanish: 48-8=40 (speak only two foreign languages).
Now We add up the total number of employees:
zero foreign language = 7
one foreign language = 23+29+33=85
two foreign languages = 30+35+40=105
three foreign languages=8
Total =7+85+105+8=205
(a) Percentage of employees who speak at least one foreign lanugage = (85+105+8)/205=198/205=.966=96.6%
(b) Percentage of employees who speak at least two foreign lanugages = (105+8)/205=113/205=.551=55.1%
To solve this question you would first multiply all the dimensions of the pillar together. That would be:
2.5 x 2.5 x 12 = 75 square feet
Then you take the weight of the pillar and divide it by the amount of square feet:
12,000 / 75 = 160 pounds per square foot.
