Say the percentage increase is 25%. If you have the whole number of 30 then you would multiply 30 by .25. You should therefore get 7.5 once both are multiplied. That means you should add 7.5 to 30, and your final answer will be 37.5.

tangare [24]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of a parallelogram is that opposite sides of the quadrilateral are parallel. Felice already knows one pair of opposite sides is parallel. By showing the slope of RQ is the same as the slope of ST, she can show the other pair of opposite sides is parallel, hence the figure is a parallelogram.

The other answer choices are essentially nonsense.
