Answer:

126 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, ratio of people who preferred tea to those who preferred coffee = 9:5

Let number of people who preferred coffee = x

Number of people who preferred tea = x + 36

Total number of people in survey = x + (x+36)

Ratio of people who preferred tea to those who preferred coffee = (x + 36)/x = 9/5

Cross multiply to solve for x

5(x + 36) = x(9)

5x + 180 = 9x

Subtract 5x from both sides

180 = 9x - 5x

180 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

180/4 = x

45 = x

x = 45

<em>Number of people who preferred coffee = x = 45</em>

<em>Number of people who preferred tea = x + 36 = 45 + 36 = 81</em>

<em>Total number of people in the survey = x + (x + 36) = 45 + 81 = 126 people</em>

Answer is n= -1 Explanation first thing you need to do is to divide the 7 and 21 to get n+4=3. After that move the constant 4 and switch it with 3. N+3=4. Then calculate n+3=4 to get n= -1

Sales increased by only 12% last month. If the sales from the previous month were $152,850, what were last months sales
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

\$171,192

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

100\%+12\%=112\%=112/100=1.12

we know that

The sales from the previous month were $152,850

This amount represent the 100%

so

Find out what were last months sales, multiply the sales from the previous month by the factor 1.12

\$152,850(1.12)=\$171,192
