Answer:
$1800
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Approanch
An easy way to calculate one's salary after they recive a raise is to, convert the percent that one's salary is increased into a decimal; divide the percent by 100. Then multiply the increase as a decimal by the original salary, to attain the amount the salary is raised by. Finally add the amount the salary is raised by to the original salary to find the new salary. A quicker way to do this is to convert the percent by the salary is increased into a decimal. Then add 1 to that number. Finally one will multiply that number by the original slary and get the new salary.
2. Solving
Original salary; 1500
Raise; 20%
<u>a. convert the raise as a percent into a decimal, then add 1</u>
20% = 0.2
0.2 + 1 = 1.2
<u>b. multiply the number by the original salary</u>
1.2 * 1500
1800

Divide both sides by
to get


Substitute
, so that
. Then



The remaining ODE is separable. Separating the variables gives

Integrate both sides. On the left, split up the integrand into partial fractions.




Then

On the right, we have

Solving for
explicitly is unlikely to succeed, so we leave the solution in implicit form,

and finally solve in terms of
by replacing
:



The answer you're looking for is A. a number subtracted from 9
I have my work at the bottom but to explain you have to divide 30/12, and I got 2.5. That means 30 is 2.5 times bigger than 12. Because we have to find x, we have to divide 7/2.5, to find what is 2.5 times smaller than 7. That’s 2.8. So, x= 2.8
