Answer:

$42.60

Step-by-step explanation:

|Here's why!|

Step 1. Figure out what formula you need to use, plug in the percentage as a decimal like this.

Formula = ( 1 - (decimal) = Number for step 2

so 1 - .15 = .85

Step 2. Divide the sales price by the new number we have!

Formula = (sales price) ÷ (the number you get from formula 1)

so $36.21 divided by .85 = $42.60!

To check your work do 42.60 x 0.15 = 6.39 then subtract

do 42.60 - 6.39 and you get 36.21!

Hope this helped!

What is the standard form of the linear function that passes

babunello [35]

standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

$(\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-2}-\stackrel{y1}{1}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{2}-\underset{x_1}{4}}}\implies \cfrac{-3}{-2}\implies \cfrac{3}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{3}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{4})$

$\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{2}}{2(y-1)=2\left( \cfrac{3}{2}(x-4) \right)}\implies 2y-2 = 3(x-4)\implies 2y-2=3x-12 \\\\\\ -3x+2y-2=-12\implies -3x+2y=-10\implies \stackrel{\times -1\textit{ to both sides}}{3x-2y=10}$

Answer:

Approximately 920.324 p/m

Step-by-step explanation:

so to figure this out, we need to simply divide 6,688 people by 7.267 square miles. 6,688/7.267=920.324.... So we have approximately 920.324 people per square mile
