Answer:

Number of people employed this year = 373

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of employees this year = x

These employees were decreased by 4% then the remaining number of employees this year = x - (4% of x)

= x - 0.04x

= 0.96x

If last year number of people employed were 389 then the number of people employed this year = 0.96×389

= 373.44

When rounded to whole number, number of people employed this year = 373.

1. Find the area of the composite figure to the nearest hundredth.
Leto [7]

Answer:

#1: 751.56 mm²

#2: 477 km²

Step-by-step explanation:

First I noted the semicircle on the left, which has a radius of 12.5 mm. The formula for finding the area of a semicircle is 1/2(πr²).

1/2(3.14 * (12.5)²)

<em>12.5 squared is 156.25.</em>

1/2(3.14 * 156.25)

<em>Multiply 3.14 by 156.25 to get 490.625.</em>

1/2(490.625)

<em>Divide 490.625 by 2 to get 245.3125.</em>

245.3125 mm² for the semicircle

Then, I split the rest of into a 12.5 by 25 rectangle and a 31 by 12.5 triangle.

(12.5 * 25) + 1/2(31 * 12.5)

<em>Multiply 12.5 by 25 to get 312.5.</em>

312.5 + 1/2(31 * 12.5)

<em>Multiply 31 by 12.5 to get 387.5.</em>

312.5 + 1/2(387.5)

<em>Multiply 1/2 by 387.5 to get 193.75</em>

312.5 + 193.75

<em>Add 312.5 and 193.75 to get 506.25.</em>

506.25 mm² for the rest of the figure.

Now add the two measures, and you have your answer for #1.

245.3125 + 506.25 = 751.5625 mm², which rounds to 751.56 mm².

The area of the composite figure is 751.56 mm².

Now for #2. First, find the area of the triangle.

1/2(40 * 27)

<em>Multiply 40 by 27 to get 1080.</em>

1/2(1080)

<em>Multiply 1/2 by 1080.</em>

590 km² for the triangle.

Now find the area of the circle.

3.14 * 6²

3.14 * 36

113.04 km² for the circle.

Now subtract the area of the circle from the area of the triangle.

590 - 113.04

476.96 km², which rounds to 477.0 km².

The area of the shaded region is 477 km².

In 1999, there were 9860 Great Danes registered with the American Kennel Club. The number of registered Labrador Retrievers was
jekas [21]

Answer:

153,997 Labrador Retrievers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make an equation for this problem. We know that there were 9,860 Great Danes. The number of Labrador Retrievers was 6,997 more than 15 times the number of registered Great Danes. More than can be changed to a plus sign. 15 times the number of Great Danes is 15 times 9,860. The equation is now 15*9,860 + 6,997.

15*9,860 is 147,900

147,900 + 6,997 is 153,997.

Enter the equation of the line in the form y=mx where m is the slope.Immersive Reader
kari74 [83]

Answer:

y = 1/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the rise (up) over run (left or right depending on if the number is negative) between points. So the next point on the graph is up 5 and over 10. this simplified is 1/2. Then you put this into y=mx which is y=1/2x
