Jason’s salary and Karen’s salary were each p percent greater in 1998 than in 1995. What is the value of p ? (1) In 1995 Karen’s salary was $2,000 greater than Jason’s. (2) In 1998 Karen’s salary was $2,440 greater than Jason’s.
1 answer:
Answer: Hi, first lets give our variables some names.
Lets call Ks to Karen's salary and Js to Jason's salary.
then, in 1995:
Ks₁ - Js₁ = 2000$
in 1998:
Ks₂ - Js₂ = 2440$
now, we know that Ks₂ = (1 +p)*Ks₁ and Js₂ = (1+p)*Js₁
so we can write the second equation as:
p*(Ks₁ - Js₁ ) = 2440$
replacing the parentesis with the first equiation
(1+p)*(2000$) = 2440$
(1+p)= 2440/2000 = 1.22
so p = 0.22, or a 22%

ANSWER: the y- intercept would be 0
It should be D: 35. 14 + 6 = 20. I just multiplied that by two, which equals 40. That means there are 2 sets of 14 and 2 sets of 6. Since there is 10 leftover, I divided both by 2. 7 + 3 = 10. 14 x 2 = 28 + 7 = 35
