In 1945, the federal minimum wage was $0.40/h. In 2015, the federal minimum wage is $7.25/h. What is the percent increase?

1 answer:

3 0

You need to know the difference in change between .40 and 7.25, which is 6.85, then you divide the change in price by the original amount, so you do 6.85/.40, which is 17.125, then multiply by 100 to get percent and you get 1712.5% increase.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Noon is 12:00

5am to 12noon is 7 hours

6,000 to 6,500

It grew by 500 in 7 hours

So one hour it is 500/7

In 12 hours that is from 12noon to 12midnight it will be 12×500/7+6500 since at 12noon it was 6500 that will be 6500+857=7357

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several possible ways to describe the "type" of a polynomial. Here, since there is a separate column for "degree", we assume that "type" refers to the number of terms.

Polynomials with 1, 2, or 3 terms are called, respectively, monomial, binomial, and trinomial. The first two expressions listed have 1 term only, so are monomials. The last expression has 3 terms, so is a trinomial.

The coefficients are the constant multiplier of the term. Some say a "constant", such as the -8 in the last expression, is not considered a coefficient, because there are no variables that it is multiplying. Here, we have listed it among the coefficients in that expression.

The degree of a term is the sum of the degrees of the variables in the term. For terms with only one variable, it is the exponent of that variable. For terms such as the second expression, the degree is the sum of the exponents: 3+4 = 7. The degree of a polynomial with more than one term is the highest degree of all the terms.
