Answer:

Option: B is correct.

( b.  761,307 )

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

The number of private investigators is expected to increase from 52,000 in 2006 to 61,000 in 2016.

i.e. the percentage increase is given by:

\dfrac{61000-52000}{52000}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{9000}{52000}\times 100\\\\=17.3\%

Now it is given that:

There are 648,982 police officers in 2006.

so the number of police officers in 2016 will be:

117.3\% \times 648982\\\\=\dfrac{117.3}{100}\times 648982\\\\=761255.886

Hence, number of  police officers  in 2016 to have a greater percent increase than that of private investigators is:

Option:b 761,307

(Since in all the other option the value is less than the estimated value i.e. 761255.886 )

System of Equations<br><br> y=-x-1<br> y+x=3<br><br> Solve?
ozzi
Solve by substitution

\sf{y=-x-1}
\sf{y+x=3}

Just plug in y=-x-1 into y+x=3

So we get:

\sf{(-x-1)+x=3}

Simplify that:

\sf{-1=3}

And since that is not true, that means this system of equations has no solutions!

sammy [17]

Answer:

5% tax: $13.94

Final cost: 292.79

429-150.15=278.85

35% discount amount: $278.85

278.85(0.05)=13.94

278.85+13.94=292.79
