The yearly cost would be $138,000.

We will assume that this sample is typical of the shelter's usual numbers.  We set up a proportion to estimate how many dogs yearly will have heart worm:

4/50 = x/5750

Cross multiply:
50*x = 4*5750
50x = 23000

Divide both sides by 50:
50x/50 = 23000/50
x = 460

We would expect 460 dogs per year to have heart worm.  Multiplying this by the cost for each dog to be treated, we have

460*300 = 138,000.

The vertices of quadrilateral PQRS are P(4, 5), Q(6, 6), R(9, 4), and S(7, 2). Write a paragraph proof to determine whether quad
Svetlanka [38]
The vector PQ is Q-P = (2, 1). The vector SR is R-S = (2, 2). One is not a multiple of the others, so the vectors are not parallel. In a parallelogram, these vectors would be identical. PQRS is not a parallelogram.

The classrooms are trying to raise $1,200.00 for charity.
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The classes need to raise $164.86 more to reach their goal of $1200.

Step-by-step explanation:

$1,200 total

Mrs. LeBlanc's class has raised 50% of the total, so they've raised $600.

1200/2 = 600

Mr. Patel's class has raised $235.14.

235.14 + 600 = 835.14

Ms. Warner's class has raised 1/3 of the total of Mrs. LeBlanc's class ($600), so they've raised $200.

600/3 = 200

835.14 + 200 = 1035.14

The three classes have raised a combined total of $1035.14.

1200 - 1035.14 = 164.86

The classes need to raise $164.86 more to reach their goal of $1200.
