Answer:

250%

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>Percentage</u></h2><h3><u>percentage increase </u></h3>

formula:

$\frac{change}{origional} * 100$

change = 280 - 80 = 200

original = 80

<h3><u>solve </u></h3>

200/80 * 100

Answer:

250%

Step-by-step explanation:

Where: 80 is the old value and 280 is the new value.

Percent change = [(New - Old ) / |Old|] x 100%

Percent change = [(280 - 80) / |80|] x 100 = [(200) / 80] x 100 = 250 % (decrease)

In this case we have a positive change (increase) of 250 percent because the new value is smaller than the old value.

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

$290

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that 1 out of 5 buyers change to a more expensive sofa than the one in the sale advertisement.

Now we are told that the advertised sofa is $250 and the more expensive sofa is $450.

Thus;

P(x) for expensive sofa = 1/5

P(x) for sofa in sale advertisement = 4/5

Thus, expected value is;

E(X) = (1/5)450 + (4/5)250

E(x) = 90 + 200

E(x) = $290

What equation represents the line that passes through points (1.-5) and (3 -17)?

zzz [600]

ALL LINES CAN BE REPRESENTED IN THE FORM $f(x) = ax+b$ .

We know that:

$f(1) = -5 \implies a\cdot(1)+b = -5 \implies a+b = -5$

and

$f(3) = -17 \implies a\cdot(3) +b = -17 \implies 3a+b = 17$

Observe that:

$3a+b = 2a+a+b = 2a+(a+b)$

So:

$2a+(a+b) =-17$

But we know that $a+b = -5$ , so:

$2a+(a+b) =-17$

$2a+(-5) = -17$

$2a = -12$

$a = -6$

Since:

$a+b = -5$

$(-6)+b = -5$

$b = 1$

So the line is:

$f(x) = 1-6x$

What is the solution to the system of equations below? HELP!!!! y = negative one-fourth x + 2 and 3 y = negative three-fourths x

Oxana [17]

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out equations

y = -1/4x + 2

3y = -3/4x - 6

Step 2: Substitution

3(-1/4x + 2) = -3/4x - 6

Step 3: Distribute

-3/4x + 6 = -3/4x - 6

From here, we can see that we have the same slope but different y-intercept. This means that the 2 lines are parallel and therefore never intersect.

Alternatively, you could graph the equations and see that the 2 lines are parallel and never intersect.
