Step 1:
Add rent & car payments

=11,250+1422
=$12,672

Step 2:
to determine %, set up a proportion
12,672 is to his total of 39,600 as x is to 100

12,672/39,600 = x/100
cross multiply
(12,672)(100) = (39,600)(x)
1,267,200= 39,600x
divide both sides by 39,600
32%= x

OR

Alternative Step 2:
12,672 ÷ 39,600= 0.32
Alternative Step 3:
0.32 x 100 = 32%
or move decimal to the right 2 places

His rent and car payments are 32% of his earnings.

Hope this helps! :)

lana [24]

Answer: Yes ,because it isn't the same the number since the number of digits aren't the same so you make it the same number of digits by putting 0 in the back so 1.7 turns to 1.700 to make it the same digits of 1.700.

Determine which system of equation has (-3,19) and (4,-23) as a solution?
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

y=6x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

First you must find the slope of the two points...

\frac{4--3}{-23-19} which then would equal 6

Then you take the slope and put into point-slope form

(y-y1)=m(x-x1)...take one of the points that is given and plug it into this formula.

so I used (-3,19).

(y-19)=6(x--3)

I would then get y-19=6x+18

Add 19 to both sides and you will get y=6x+1
