Answer:
Original Salary: 
Increase in 3%: 
Step-by-step explanation:
So when something increases by x%, the new value is (100+x)% the original value. So 6255, is 105% the original value. This means to find the original value, we have to find the number that has 6255 as 105% of it's value. Whenever you try to find x% of a number, you multiply it by the decimal value of the percentage, which is found by dividing by 100. So to find x%, you do: 
where o = original value, x=percent. In this case the percent is 105%, which when divided by 100 is 1.05. So this gives us the equation: 
. This is his original salary. You need to do this process, do not make the mistake of subtracting 5% from 6255. This is because 5% of 6255 does not equal the 5% of the original value. 5% of 6255 should be greater than 5% of the original value, since the new value is an increase of 5%. So since we have his original salary, we can calculate the salary increase had it been 3%. to do this we multiply by 1.03 (103% divided by 100). This gives us the equation: 
We have a line passing through 3 points. We can use the first
two points to find the equation of the line.
(6,3), (8,4)
slope m = (4-3)/(8-6) = 1/2
We can use the point slope form y-y1 = m(x-x1) or
the slope intercept form y = mx + b
to find the equation of the line.
Let's take the point (6,3) and use y = mx + b to find b
y = 3, x = 6, m = 1/2
3 = (1/2)(6) + b
3 = 3 + b
0 = b
The equation of our line is y = (1/2)x
We have a line of equation y = (1/2)x going through point (n,-2)
Plugging in we have: -2 = (1/2)n
2(-2) = n
-4 = n
Your answer is n = -4
NOTE: looking at the 3 points as given initially: (6,3), (8,4), (n,-2)
We can see that 3 = (1/2)6 and 4 = (1/2)8 so -2 = (1/2)n makes sense
Hope this helps you :)
2000 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
we simply round the dimensions of 50.8 cm to 50 cm and 40.6 cm to 40 cm, and we multiply 50*40 cm to get to 2000cm^2 (it is squared because this is area)
