The first step to determine the percentage of increase is to compute for the difference of consumer price index in value.

231.11 (consumer price index for 2012) – 211.4 (consumer price index for 2007) = 19.71 (increase)

To compute for the percentage of increase, you need to compare the increase to the consumer price index for 2007.

19.71/211.4 = 9.3% increase

Find X. 2x + 15 = 20
lakkis [162]

Answer:

x = 5/2     or     x = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we will have to get the equation 2x + 15 = 20 into the form x = _. That will be our answer.

2x + 15 = 20

Subtract 15 from both sides to get rid of the +15 on the left side.

2x = 20 - 15

Simplify.

2x = 5

Divide both sides by 2 to get rid of the coefficient of 2 on the left side.\

x = 5/2 = 2.5

x = 5/2   or    x = 2.5

I hope you find my answer helpful. :)

Suppose that taxis in New York are driven an average of 60,000 miles per year with a standard deviation of 11,000 miles. Assume
Gre4nikov [31]
<span>Let n be the number of taxis in NY. The average distance travelled is 60,000 miles, therefore the middle 95% will have the same average as the population, the reason being the mileage is symmetrically distributed about the mean Therefore the total number of miles in one year for the middle 95% is 60,000 * 0.95 * n
</span><span>The range of miles driven by the middle 95% can be found from the empirical rule that says: For a normal distribution, approximately 95% of the data points lie within the range plus and minus 2 standard deviations of the population mean. In this case the range is (60,000-22,000) to (60,000 + 22,000)</span>
