The number of measles cases has increased by 14% since 2000. Express your answer rounded correctly to the nearest hundredth. Sta
ted another way, the number of measles cases is 2 times what it was in 2000. Express your answer rounded correctly to the nearest tenth of a percent. Stated another way, the number of measles cases was 12 % of what it is now. If you haven't answered the question correctly in 3 attempts, you can get a hint.
We are going to express the data in an equation form:
If <em>x </em>was the number of cases there was in 2000 ⇒<em>currently there are 1.14x </em>cases of measles.
But the question also tells us that the number of cases now is also 2 times what it was in 2000.
So we have that <u>1.14x = 2x</u>
<u />
It also tells us that the number of measles back in 2000 was 12% of what it is now.
<u>x = (.12) 1.14x</u>
<u />
We can't really solve these equations since the problem doesn't give us any more information (I am assuming there was another part of the problem before this one that wasn't written here).
Perhaps you could just outline the topic lightly but try your best not to give away your topic idea. In this case talk about technology but don't talk about the dependency of technology, for the first paragraph as mentioned in your title text and then in your second paragraph you could talk about the dependency of technology.
