Answer:
initial value is 21
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
6= -3(5) +b
b=21
Answer: 6.1% decrease
Note: It appears that your teacher doesn't want you to type in the percent sign, as that's already covered for you.
=========================================================
Explanation:
The salary decreased by 51500-48355 = 3145
Divide this over the initial salary to get 3145/51500 = 0.0611 which is approximate.
This converts to the percentage 6.11% and that rounds to 6.1%
----------------
As an alternative, you can use the formula method below
A = old value = 51500
B = new value = 48355
C = percent change when going from A to B
C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%
C = [ (48355-51500)/51500 ] * 100%
C = (-3145/51500)*100%
C = -0.0611*100%
C = -6.11%
C = -6.1%
The negative C value indicates a percent decrease.
Answer:
b) 12.6 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
tangent is the ratio of the side opposite over adjacent, so if we let x= length of the opposite side, 1.40=x/9, x=12.6 inches
Answer:
15.15% probability that both months (different) have less than 31 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
Also, the order of the months is not important. For example, picking July and August is the same as picking August and July. So the combinations formula is used to solve this problem
Combinations formula:
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

There are 12 months, of which February, April, June, September and November, that is, 5 of them, have less than 31 months.
Desired outcomes:
Picking 2 months from a set of 5(those with less than 31 days). So

Total outcomes:
Picking 2 months from a set of 12(all the months). So

Probability:

15.15% probability that both months (different) have less than 31 days.
