Here are some formulas...
percent increase = (new number - original number) / original number...* 100
percent decrease = (original number - new number) / original number...* 100
============
a student raises her grade from a 75 to a 90....since it is going from a smaller number to a larger number, u have an increase
percent increase = (90 - 75) / 70....* 100
= 15/70 * 100
= 0.2142 * 100
= 21.42 rounds to 21.4% increase
-------------------------
36.50 on sale for 32.12...since it goes from a larger number to a smaller number, u have a decrease
percent decrease = (original number - new number) / original * 100
= (36.50 - 32.12) / 32.12...* 100
= 4.38 / 32.12...* 100
= 0.1363...* 100
= 13.63 rounds to 13.6% decrease
------------------------------
23.5 to 21.2......this is a decrease
percent decrease = (original number - new number) / original...* 100
= (23.5 - 21.2) / 23.5....* 100
= 2.3 / 23.5....* 100
= 0.0979 * 100
= 9.79 rounds to 9.8% decrease
The question given is incomplete, I googled and got the complete question as below:
You are a waterman daily plying the waters of Chesapeake Bay for blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus), the best-tasting crustacean in the world. Crab populations and commercial catch rates are highly variable, but the fishery is under constant pressure from over-fishing, habitat destruction, and pollution. These days, you tend to pull crab pots containing an average of 2.4 crabs per pot. Given that you are economically challenged as most commercial fishermen are, and have an expensive boat to pay off, you’re always interested in projecting your income for the day. At the end of one day, you calculate that you’ll need 7 legal-sized crabs in your last pot in order to break even for the day. Use these data to address the following questions. Show your work.
a. What is the probability that your last pot will have the necessary 7 crabs?
b. What is the probability that your last pot will be empty?
Answer:
a. Probability = 0.0083
b. Probability = 0.0907
Step-by-step explanation:
This is Poisson distribution with parameter λ=2.4
a)
The probability that your last pot will have the necessary 7 crabs is calculated below:
P(X=7)= {e-2.4*2.47/7!} = 0.0083
b)
The probability that your last pot will be empty is calculated as:
P(X=0)= {e-2.4*2.40/0!} = 0.0907
A. Kristina will sell 294 items in 28 days if she stays on her current pace.
B. She is not on track to meet the goal. By doing the math she would only sell around 294 items by day 28 when she needs to sell around 400 to reach her goal. if she keeps this pace she won’t reach that goal unless she is able to bump up her weekly count by 2-5 items then she can either hit the goal or go over.
Answer:
x = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an equilateral triangle. This means the angles of the triangle are all equal. Since the sum of a triangle's angles is 180°, that means each angle will be 60°.
