The answer is 2p+9=25. If we solve the equation we see it's true.
2p+9=25
2p=25-9
2p=16
p=16/2
p=8.
Hope this helps.

When a number is decreased by 3.5%, the result is 91 what is the original number to the nearest tenth
sdas [7]

Answer:

87.8

Step-by-step explanation:

So you have to multiply 91 times 3.5 which equals 318.5

                      91 × 3.5 = 318.5

Then divide 318.5 by 100 which equals 3.185

                      318.5 ÷ 100 = 3.185

Next subtract 91 by 3.185 which equals 87.815

                      91 - 3.185 = 87.815

Last Round 87.815 to 87.8

                       87.8 should be the answer

Hope this helps

An estimated 40% of all people were born after the year 2000. If two people are selected at random from around the world, what a
sukhopar [10]

The chances that NEITHER of these two selected people were born after the year 2000 is 0.36

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Year = 2000

Proportion of people born after 2000, p = 40%

Sample size = 2

The chances that NEITHER of these two selected people were born after the year 2000 is calculated as:

P = (1- p)^2

Substitute the known values in the above equation

P = (1 - 40%)^2

Evaluate the exponent

P = 0.36

Hence, the chances that NEITHER of these two selected people were born after the year 2000 is 0.36
