Answer:

400 people

Step-by-step explanation:

15 = 12

500 = x

Cross multiply

15x = 12 × 500

Divide both sides by 15

\frac{15x}{15} = \frac{12 * 500}{15}  (* means multiplication if you do not know)

\frac{12 * 500}{15} = 100 × 4= 400 people

Divide 500 by 15 that equals 33.33 then multiply that number by 12 and that equals 399.96 which is then rounded up to 400/500 people prefer eating out rather than cooking at home.

Can anyone help with either one of these
Vlada [557]
slope-point form:
we need the slope (m) and a point.
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
Given two point A(x₁,y₂) and B(x₂,y₂), the slope of the line  is :
m=(y₂-y₁) /(x₂-x₁)

Example 3:
we can take two points:
A(12,2)
B(13,7)
m=(7-2) / (13-12)=5/1=5

therefore:
y-2=5(x-12)
y-2=5x-60
y=5x-60+2
y=5x-58

answer: y=5x-58

Example 4:
we can take two points.
A(0,0)
B(3,1)
m=(1-0)/(3-0)=1/3

Therefore:
y-0=1/3(x-0)
y=x/3

answer: y=x/3
