The food service gave out 80 samples, which is 4 fewer than 70% of the total number of samples they prepared. Lets make x the total number of samples they prepared.
So lets write it as an equation
80 = (70% of x) -4
70% converts to a decimal by moving the decimal point 2 spaces up, so it is 0.7
80 = 0.7x-4
Add 4 to both sides of the equation
84 = 0.7x
Divide both sides by 0.7 to isolate the x
x = 120
The food service prepared 120 samples.
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
2 x 5 = 10
9 x 5 = 45
10:45 = 2:9
Answer:
upon graphing, it is linear
Step-by-step explanation:
you could set up an x-y table or you could graph it
if you graph it you'll see it's linear with a y-intercept of -2 and a slope of 9
all linear equations are functions except for vertical lines
Simple.....

All you have to do is simplify the radical by breaking the radicand up into a product of known factors.
Thus, your answer.
