The answer is 31,500.
Let's clarify some things :
1% of 45,000 is 450
Maybe you're wondering why , it's actually very simple .
Just move the decimal to the left once if you want to find 10% , move the decimal twice if you want to find 1%.
We now that 1% equals 450. Then 2% equals to....
Well just add another 1% .
450 + 450 or 450 times 2
Which equals 900.
Now we want to find what's the population after 15 years.
900 times 15= 13,500
But that's not the answer ....
That's what is decreasing.
45,000 - 13,500= 31,500
That's why the answer is 31,500.

1st gift shop:

120/4 = 30 cents each

180/6 = 30 cents each

390/13 = 30 cents each

 

2nd gift shop:

204/7 = 29.14 cents each

192/8 = 24 cents each

270 /9 = 30 cents each

360/10 = 36 cents each


 so if both gift shops have a fixed price then the 9 post cards would be the answer since it matches 30 each like the 1st gift store

Answer:

A Sarah earns more money per hour  $15

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the slope to determine the rate ( amount per hour

Sarah

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (50-5)/(3-0)

    = 45/3

    = $15 per hour

Mia

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (20-10)/(2-0)

    = 10/2

   = $5 per hour
