Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation expressing the number y of shopping centers in terms of the number x of years after 1992 will be LINEAR in nature
The standard equation is expressed as;
y = mx+c
m is the slope
c is the intercept
If in 1992, there were 41,984 shopping centers in a certain country and in 2002, there were 48,225 we can express this as coordinate points
(0, 41984) and (10, 48,225)
Get the slope
m = 48,225-41,984/10-0
m = 6241/10
m = 624.1
Get the intercept, substitute m = 624.1 and the point (0,48225) into the formula y = mx+c
48225 = 624.1(0)+c
48225 = 0+c
c = 48225
Get the required equation
y = 624.1x+48225
Answer: A raffle is being held to benefit the local animal shelter. They sell 903 tickets that do
not win any prize, 18 tickets that win a free adoption (valued at $20), and one ticket
that wins $171 worth of pet supplies and toys. If they are selling the tickets for $5
each, how much should the shelter expect to earn for each ticket sold?
Round to the nearest cent, as needed.
sorry if it appears messy!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
<span><u><em>Answer:</em></u>
247,000
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
To round a number to the nearest thousand, we check the digit in the <u>hundreds position</u>:
1- If the digit is <u>less than 5</u>, then we round down. This means that we simply convert all digits after the thousands to zero and that's it
2- If the digit is <u>equal to or more than 5</u>, then we round up. This means that we add one to the thousands digit and then convert all digits after the thousands to zero.
In the given number 247039, the number in the hundreds position is 0. This means that we will <u>round down
</u>
Therefore, 246039 rounded to the nearest thousand would simply give 247000
Hope this helps :)</span>
