The equation shows how to find the percent increase:

$Percent\ increase = \frac{421-376}{376} \times 100$

Solution:

Given that,

A town’s population of children increased from 376 to 421 during the past year

To find: percent increase

The percent increase is given by formula:

$\text{Percent increase} = \frac{\text{Final value - initial value}}{\text{initial value}} \times 100$

From given,

Initial value = 376

Final value = 421

$Percent\ increase = \frac{421-376}{376} \times 100\\\\Percent\ increase = \frac{45}{376} \times 100\\\\Percent\ increase = 11.968 \%$

Thus the equation is found and solved

I’m studying for my Sat later in the month, and even using the answer key I don’t understand how to solve this question. Help?

So with this equation, since the volume of the cylinder is 96 pi, plug that into the V variable, and since the radius of one of the marbles is 3, plug that into the r variable. From here, we can solve for x: $96\pi =24\pi +x(\frac{4}{3}\pi*3^3)$

Firstly, solve the parentheses: $96\pi =24\pi +x(\frac{4}{3}\pi*27)\\ 96\pi =24\pi +x(36\pi)$

Next, multiply 36 pi and x: $96\pi = 24\pi +36\pi x$

Next, subtract 24 pi on both sides: $72\pi =36\pi x$

Lastly, divide both sides by 36 pi, and your answer will be $2=x$ , or B.

Mary has a large sum of money to deposit, but since she has heard many stories from her grandmother about the Great Depression,

Mary should make sure to choose a bank that is FDIC insured. Furthermore, if she has more than maximum deposit insurance amount to deposit, she should spread her deposits out among several separate banks. These should be totally different banks, not simply different branches of the same bank. The FDIC will insure up to the maximum deposit insurance amount at each bank, even if the bank fails.

-10-|1+4b|=-19 Y = 0

Answer:

b=2 or b=-2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve absolute value equations the same as any other equation using inverse operations. However, the inverse operation for absolute value requires one special condition. Since absolute values change a number to a positive regardless if it has a negative sign, we have two possible answers. When we have the absolute value operation isolated, we will set it equal to both the negative and positive option.

$-10-|1+4b|=-19\\-10+10-|1+4b|=-19+10\\-|1+4b|=-9\\\frac{-|1+4b|}{-1} =\frac{-9}{-1} \\|1+4b|=9$
