Answer:

2014 salary = 125 of 2013 salary

Therefore if 2013 salary is 100, 2014 salary is 125

x% of 125 = 100

125x/100= 100

x = 100*100/125

x = 80

His previous salary is 80% of his present salary

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Focus on the important parts of the problem:

The present salary is 25% more than the previous salary.

previous = % of present ?

Use a mock/fake situation. Let' say the previous salary is $100.

100 = % of present

Present salary is $100 increased by 25%.

$100 X 1.25 = $125

100 = % of 125

Solve this in decimal form (convert it to a percentage later).

Let x be the percentage in decimal form.

100 = 125x

100/125 = x Isolate "x" by dividing by sides by 125

x = 0.80

Convert 0.80 to percentage by multiplying by 100.

0.80 X 100 = 80%

When comparing two things using percentage, 100% is the same. Less than 100% is less and more than 100% is more.

Since his previous salary was less than his present salary, this answer makes sense.

Therefore his previous salary was 80% of his present salary.

Help with stats! A poll asked the question, "What do you think is the most important problem facing this country today?" Sixteen

Stolb23 [73]

"What do you think is the most important problem facing this country today?"

16% of the respondents answered

"crime and violence."

The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 3%

Following the convention that the margin of error is based on a 95% confidence interval, find a 95% confidence interval for the percentage of the population that would respond "crime and violence" to the question asked by the pollsters.

hmmm, im thinking this looks familiar to me, but ill have to see whats wrong about it first

using .16 as p^ and therefore 1-p^ = q^ = .84

During which section did the person travel the farthest ? how far did they travel ?

Novosadov [1.4K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

D, 60 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance is indicated by the vertical scale. The section that represents the most distance will be the section that has the greatest vertical difference between its start and end points. Section D starts at 60 and ends at 0 miles, so covers a distance of 60 miles. The greatest distance covered by any other section is 30 miles.

The person traveled the farthest during section D. They traveled 60 miles.
