D) 65% decrease. 

I worked it out by: 268 mill - 94 mill (calculating the difference in money) 
then divided that by the original 268 mill, to finally get 0.64925.... 

And since the money is decreasing, it is a 65% decrease. 

Hope this helps, and I think it should be right - but maybe double check in case :)

Answer:

d. 65% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

In the current situation, the colleges and universities received about $268 million in aid.

Ten years later, they received about $94 million.

Decrease in amount is = (268-94) million dollars

= 174 million dollars

The percentage of change with respect to current value is :

\frac{174}{268}\times100=64.93% ≈65%

And since the amount of aid received is decreasing, so this percentage is a decreased value.

The answer is option D.

Triangle PQR has vertices P(–2, 6), Q(–8, 4), and R(1, –2). It is translated according to the rule (x, y) → (x – 2, y – 16). Wha
Rudik [331]
The point P has coordinates (x,y) = (-2,6) so x = -2 and y = 6

Replace x and y with those values into the rule given
So,
(x,y) ---> (x-2, y-16)
turns into
(-2,6) ---> (-2-2, 6-16) = (-4,-10)

P = (-2,6)
P ' = (-4,-10) 

The answer is -10 because your teacher just wants the y coordinate of point P'

Flura [38]

Answer:

h ≤ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Hans charges $7 per hour and pays $5 in equipment fees.

$5 is fixed in this case. Let the possible number of hours be h.

According to question,

Atleast means less than equal to. So,

7h-5≤51

Add 5 to both sides.

7h+5-5 ≤ 51+5

7h ≤ 56

h ≤ 8

So, the number of hours be less than equal to 8.

Flura [38]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

\lim_{n \to \ -\pi } (f(x) - g(x))\\\\ = \lim_{n \to \ -\pi } (3 - cos x)\\\\  = 3 - cos( - \pi) = 3 - cos(\pi)\\\\ = 3 - (-1) = 3 + 1 = 4
