Using ratio and proportion, we can solve this problem.
Take the ratio and proportion to both sides,  
87people will vote for other person/114 total people=x people/9918 total people
rearrange the equation to get the value of x
x= 7569
The answer is letter b.7569 people.

How much to the nearest dollar should you deposit in a savings account at 2.5% annual simple interest in order to have a balance
Aneli [31]

Answer:

The amount we have to deposit in a savings account x = $ 17777.78

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount = $ 20000

R = 2.5 %

Time = 5 years

Take principal amount = x

Simple interest earned in five years

S.I. = \frac{P R T}{100}

S.I. = \frac{P (2.5)(5)}{100}

S.I. = \frac{x}{8}   ------- (1)

We know hat total amount is given by

Total amount = principal amount + simple interest

A = x + S.I.

A = x + \frac{x}{8}

A = \frac{9x}{8}

Given that the total amount after 5 years is = $ 20000

\frac{9x}{8} = 20000

x = $ 17777.78

This is the amount we have to deposit in a savings account.

I have 2 possible answer, but I don't know which one. Help please.
stira [4]

Answer:

X=120

Step-by-step explanation:

It is an equalateral so all the angles in the middle are the same all being 60

The angle of a straight line is 180

So just minus 60 from 180 to get 120

180-60=120

Find the area of the shaded figure below. Use 3.14 for pi. NO LINKS OR IMPROPER ANSWERS
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The area of the shaded region is about 58.9 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, let's recall some facts.

We know that the area of a circle can be defined as the following:

A = \pi r^2

where r is the radius of the circle.

We too know that circles have a diameter and a radius. The diameter of a circle is the distance a line that connects two points on a circle with its center, and the radius is half of the diameter.

We also know that figures can touch each other, or be in tangent with each other. For the sake of simplicity, we're going to assume that the shaded circles are in tangent with each other, or touch each other. Because they touch each other, these three circles can share 5 in. of the 15 in. rectangle. This means that the circles are 5 in. in diameter, or 2.5 in in radius.

Now, we can solve the problem.

Because we have 3 circles, each with 2.5 in. radii, we can have the following expression which represents the total area of these circles:

3*\pi (2.5)^2

= 3*3.14(2.5)^2

= 3 *3.14 *6.25

= 58.875

After approximation, I can conclude that the area of the shaded region is 58.9 square inches.
