We can start by finding the gradient of LM

Two perpendicular lines will meet the requirement

×

=-1
Two parallel lines have equal gradients
NM is perpendicular to LM, hence the gradient of NM is -1
KN is a line that is parallel to NM, hence the gradient is 1
KL is perpendicular to LM, hence the gradient of KL is -1
Set up a proportion.
Let x = the number of students in 29970 who speak 3 or more languages.
285/19 = 29970/x Cross multiply
285 x = 19 * 29970
285x = 569430
x = 569430/285
x = 5415 students speak 3 languages.
92 = 2 x 2 x 23

We already know from the given data that 6 pencils can be bought for 59 cents. We have to determine the number of pencils that can be bought for $2.95.
So
Price of 6 pencils = 59 cents.
Price of 1 pencil = (59/6) cents
= 9.83 cents
Now total amount in hand for buying pencils = $2.95
= 295 cents
Then the number of pencils that can be bought for 295 cents = (295/9.83)
= 30.01
So the maximum number of pencils that can be bought for $2.95 is 30 pencils.
