The closest benchmark for the percent 45 would be 50% The benchmarks would be 0%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. The closest would be 50 percent because it's only 5% away
Directly proportional, both increase/decrease, Multiple k(constant you needed to solve for)..
Inversely --one increases as the other decreases, increase the denominator & fraction gets smaller.... So
Problem:
Dirextly to X (× by X)
Inversely to Y, (÷ by Y)
Z= k X/Y
Solve, working backwards: Z =5 becomes
5 = k (X) ÷ (Y). And
X=15 and Y =9 becomes
5= k(15)/(9). Undo ÷9, ×9 both sides
45= k(15). Now undo ×15 by ÷15 both sides
45/15 = 3. So k=3, (also called your constant of variation)....and your Equation/Proportion becomes...
Z = 3X/Y
Use the new #s.... X=23, Y=14
Z= 3×23÷14 = 69/14. If they want spirochete answer divide and round to corresponding # if decimals
First, let's create an equation for this problem.
($70 × 4) + $40
Now, all you would have to do is solve it using the order of operation (PEMDAS).
($70 × 4) + $40 = $280 + $40
$280 + $40 = $320
The plumber charged $320.
I hope this helps!
Answer: with 133.33 acres of trees
Step-by-step explanation:
4 acres of trees, is a 97% decrease of the previous amount.
This means that if the previous amount was X, then 4 acres is 3% (or 0.03 in decimal form) of X, or:
4 acres = 0.03*X
Now we can solve this for X as:
X = 4acres/0.03 = 133.33 acres
The illegal loggers got away with 133.33 acres of trees
