Answer: s > 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-s² + 25s - 100 > 0

Coefficient of s² is -1, multiply the equation through by -1.

-1 × (-s² + 25s - 100)

s² — 25s + 100

ax² + bx + c

Then you get the factors x and y that gives x + y = b and xy = c

b = -25 and c = 100, x = -20 and y = -5

-20 × -5 = 100 and -20 + -5 = -25

Then

s² — 20s — 5s + 100 > 0

Factorising,

s (s — 20) — 5(s — 20) > 0

(s — 5)(s — 20) > 0

(s — 5) > 0 and (s — 20) > 0

s>5 and s>20

s > 5

Hope this Helps?

So this is basically a ratio and the form I use to solve these is
Is. = %
Of. 100
So we're looking for 5% of the 350,000 which will be x

X. = 5
350000. 100
Cross multiply
100x=1750000
Divide by 100
