Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start by finding Sandra's salary this year.
We are given that she saved $3,360 or 8% of her total salary this year.
Let's represent her total salary this year as "x" and set up an equation:
Note that any percentage is equivalent to that number over 100.
Multiply 100 to both sides:
Divide both sides by 8
The question states "this year her salary was $2000 more than in the previous year".
This means that her salary in the previous year is equivalent to:
Answer:
I will answer in a general way because the options are not given.
We know that the area of model A is smaller than the area of model B.
For model A, we have 72 shaded sections, out of 100.
Then the quotient of model A is:
72/100 = 0.72
For model B we have 10 sections, and x shaded ones.
Because model B is greater than model A, we know that:
x/10 should be larger than 72/100
then we have the inequality:
x/10 > 0.72
x > 0.72*10
x > 7.2
And we can not have more than 10 shaded sections (because there is a total of 10 sections) then:
10 ≥ x > 7.2
Then x can be any whole number in that interval.
the possible values of x are:
x = 8
x = 9
x = 10
We use the formula for exponential growth:
P = Po exp(kt)
Using the population data from 1993 to 1996, we can solve for the growth rate k
76 = 72 exp(k(3))
76/72 = exp(3k)
ln (76/72) = 3k
k = ln(76/72) / 3 = 0.0180
In 10 years (2003), the population will be:
P = Po exp(0.0180t)
P = 72 exp(0.0180(10))
P = 86.22 million
The answer is A:
Because the only difference between the rest of the answer choices are the lower and upper quartiles, that is all you need to find. In order to do so you find the median for the first half (lower quartile) and then find the median for the second half. In this case it is 29 (Q1) and 58 (Q2)
