Answer:

There are 86 acres of old-growth trees.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to answer the question, we need to calculate the 0.2% of 43,000.

We can calculate this stating that exists a linear relationship between the percentage and the amount of acres. We also need to state that 43,000 acres are the 100% of the acres.

Therefore, we can write the following equation to calculate the percentage :

\frac{43,000}{100}=\frac{x}{0.2}

If we solve the equation in terms of ''x'' :

x=(\frac{43,000}{100}).(0.2)=86

x=86

We find that if 43,000 acres are the 100% of the acres ⇒ The 0.2% of the acres are 86 acres (in which there are old-growth trees).

A merchant sold a pen for $6.90 ,thereby making a profit of 15% on her cost calculate the cost of the pen to the merchant to the
NeTakaya
So you know the merchant made a 15% profit on the pen, so she bought it for a cheaper price. To find the cost of the pen before you have to take the price now, $6.90 and times it by 85%. You do 85% because you subtract the 15% she saved from 100% and you get 85%. So 6.90x.85= 5.865 which rounds to $5.87
