Answer:
The original number was 54.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
If a number is increased by 2.8%, then it is 102.8% of it's original number.
In mathematics, "of" in virtually all cases means "multiplied by".
Therefore, we do the opposite:
1. Convert to a decimal.
102.8% = 1.028
2. Divide by the decimal.

3. Round it to the nearest tenth.
54.47 rounds to 54.5.
Answer: 9 boys
Explanation:
3/11= x/33
11x= 99
x=9
Answer:
x=2;DE,EF=9,DF=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since DEF is isoceles, you can set the equations
x+7 and 2x+5 equal to each other
x+7=2x+5, now solve for x
-x=-2,
x=2, now plug in for each side
DE,EF=9
DF=3(2)-1=5
The total cost is given by the equation:
C(t) = 45 + 25(h-1) where h is the number of hours worked.
We can check for each option in turn:
Option A:
Inequality 5 < x ≤ 6 means the hour is between 5 hours (not inclusive) to 6 hours (inclusive)
Let's take the number of hours = 5
C(5) = 45 + (5-1)×25 = 145
Let's take the number of hours = 6
Then substitute into C(6) = 45 + (6-1)×25 = 170
We can't take 145 because the value '5' was not inclusive.
Option B:
The inequality is 6 < x ≤ 7
We take number of hours = 6
C(6) = 25(6-1) + 45 = 170
We take number of hours = 7
Then C(7) = 25(7-1) + 45 = 195
Option C:
The inequality is 5 < x ≤ 6
Take the number of hours = 5
C(5) = 25(5-1) + 45 = 145
Take the number of hours = 6
C(6) = 25(6-1) + 45 = 170
We can't take the value 145 as '5' was not inclusive in the range, but we can take 170
Option D:
6 < x ≤ 7
25(6-1) + 45 < C(t) ≤ 25(7-1) + 45
170 < C(t) ≤ 195
Correct answer: C
