Answer:
The original number was 54.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
If a number is increased by 2.8%, then it is 102.8% of it's original number.
In mathematics, "of" in virtually all cases means "multiplied by".
Therefore, we do the opposite:
1. Convert to a decimal.
102.8% = 1.028
2. Divide by the decimal.

3. Round it to the nearest tenth.
54.47 rounds to 54.5.
Answers:1)Tthe first answer is that as x increases the value of p(x) approaches a number that is greater than q (x).
2) the y-intercept of the function p is greater than the y-intercept of the function q.
Explanation:1) Value of the functions as x increases.Function p:

As x increases, the value of the function is the limit when x → ∞.
Since [2/5] is less than 1,
the limit of [2/5]ˣ when x → ∞ is 0, and the limit of p(x) is 0 - 3 = -3.While in the graph you see that the function
q has a horizontal asymptote that shows that the
limit of q (x) when x → ∞ is - 4.Then, the first answer is that
as x increases the value of p(x) approaches a number that is greater than q (x).2) y - intercepts.i) To determine the y-intercept of the function p(x), just replace x = 0 in the equation:
p(x) = [ 2 / 5]⁰ - 3 = 1 - 3 = - 2ii) The y-intercept of q(x) is read in the
graph. It is - 3.
Then the answer is that
the y-intercept of the function p is greater than the y-intercept of the function q.
45 because its 48 but go back one and you get
Its a squere so divide 312 by 4=78
then tou can finsd the area
so 78 x 78 = so 6084 cm
thanks hope this helps!:)
