this year a softball coach raised $1200 for new equipment. that is 4% less than he raised last year. how much did he raise last
1 answer:
The softball coach raised $1250 last year
Step-by-step explanation:
This year a softball coach raised $1200 for new equipment
That is 4% less than he raised last year
To Solve the problem:
- Assume that he raised 100% last year
- Subtract 4% from the 100% to find his raise this year
- Use the cross multiplication to find his raise last year
∵ The coach raised 100% last year
∵ He raised 4% less this year
∴ He raised this year = 100% - 4% = 96%
∵ He raised this year $1200
→ Last year : This year
→ 100% : 96%
→ x : 1200
By using the cross multiplication method
∵ x × 96% = 1200 × 100%
- Divide both sides by 96%
∴
∴ x = 1250
∵ x represents his raise last year
∴ He raised $1250 last year
The softball coach raised $1250 last year

x is time and y is pencils that you have
'starts with 90' so at x=0, plot y=90
'gives away 15 every hour' so for every 1 hour, move 15 down on y
so at x=1, do 90-15=75 pencils
at x=2, do 75-15=60 pencils
etc
until you get to
x=6, do 15-15=0 pencils then stop because you can't give away 15 pencils when you have 0
see attachment for plot
I don't know how your segment tool works so you do it
if it draws a line, you only need 2 points, just do when x=0, y=90 and when x=6, y=0
