Answer:y=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two numbers be x and y.
Let m = the fraction (or percentage) for increasing the numbers.
Increase x by 5, multiply (x+5) by (1+m), and set it qual to 36.
(x + 5)*(1 + m) = 36
Increase y by 5, multiply (y+5) by (1+m), and set it equal to 36.
(y+5)*(1+m) = 36
Therefore
(x+5)*(1+m) = (y+5)*(1+m)
x + 5 = y + 5
x = y
x - y = 0
Answer: 0.
The difference between the two numbers is zero.
The answer should be -1/2.
Considering the box and whisker plot, it is found that the number of dogs that weigh more than 35 pounds is given by:
C. 75
<h3>What does the box plot shows?</h3>
It shots the first quartile, the median and the third quartile. In this problem:
- The first quartile is of 35.
- The third quartile is of 70.
The first quartile of 35 means that 25% of the measures are less than 35, and 75% are more, hence, out of 100:
0.75 x 100 = 75
Which means that option C is correct.
