Answer: 175 robberies

Step-by-step explanation:

Robberies last year= 243

Robberies has reduced by 28% which means there are (100-28)% = 72% robberies this year.

Number of robberies this year= 72% of 243 = 72/100 × 243 = 174.96 = 175.

There are 175 robberies this year

Answer: 175

Step-by-step explanation:

The original number of robberies = 243

It has been reduced by 28% , to find the present number of robberies , all we need do is to find 72% of 243. That is

72% x 243

= 0.72 x 243

= 174.96

Therefore , the number of robberies this year to the nearest whole number will be 175

Alex17521 [72]

The month in which Company B's payment will first exceed Company A's payment is C) Month 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Company A offers $6,000 for the first month and increases the salary each month by $5,000.

Company B offers $700 for the first month but doubles the payments each month.

We need to determine which month company B's payment is greater than company A's payment.

Step 2:

According to the table, at month 6 company A pays $31,000 while company B pays $22,400.

However after this month, in the seventh-month company A pays $36,000 while company B pays $44,800, which is higher than company A's salary.

So The month in which Company B's payment will first exceed Company A's payment is C) Month 7.

X/8 + 12 = 16 
start by subtracting twelve from both sides
x/8 + 12 = 16 
      - 12   -12
You're left with x/8 = 4
Multiply both sides by 8
8× x/8 = 4 ×8
Your answer is x = 32
If you need to simplify, the answer is 2.

What are the solutions to the system of equations? y=− x 2 +5x+6 −6x+y=6
Komok [63]

Answer:

option B

(−1, 0) and (0, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question two equations,

Equation 1

y =−x² + 5x + 6

Equation 2

−6x + y = 6

plug value of y in second equation

−6x −x² + 5x + 6 = 6

-x² -6x + 5x +6 - 6 = 0

-x² - x + 0 = 0

-x² -x = 0

-x(x+1) = 0

x = 0

and

x = -1

plug value of x in second equation to find y

x = 0

−6(0) + y = 6

 0 + y = 6

 y = 6

 and

x = -1

−6(-1) + y = 6

6 + y = 6

y = 0
