Answer:

20 students

Step-by-step explanation:

If the class decreased by 15%, the students that she has now (17) represents a percentaje of:

100% - 15% = 85%

so<u> the 17 students are 85% of what she had</u>:

Students         Percentage

      17          ⇒        85%

and we are looking for how many students she had 2 years ago, thus we are looking for the <u>100%</u> of students (the original number of studens). If we represent this number by x:

Students         Percentage

      17          ⇒        85%

      x          ⇒        100%

and we solve this problem using the <u>rule of three</u>: multiply the cross quantities on the table( 17 and 100) and then divide by the remaining amount (85):

x = 17*100/85

x = 1700/85

x=20

To solve 493x = 3432x+1, write each side of the equation in terms of base
sleet_krkn [62]

<u><em>Answer</em></u>

= 3.405 × 10⁻⁴

<u>Explanation</u>

If the question is correctly written, then it is very easy.

First, take the like terms on one side.

493x = 3432x+1

493x - 3432x = 1

-2939x = 1

Dividing both sides by -2939 to get the value of x.

x = 1/(-2939)

= - 0.0003405

= 3.405 × 10⁻⁴

Is the sequence 3,6,9,12 geometric? True or false and why
IRINA_888 [86]
This sequence is not a geometric.
It is because, common ratio = 6/3 = 2
9/6 = 1.5

As the ratio's are not same, it is not a G.P

Hope this helps!
