Percent Increases are not too difficult to find. First, put our percent (5%) into its decimal form so that we can work with it. To turn a percent into a decimal you divide the percent by 100. If you don't have a calculator on you, whenever you are multiplying by 10... 100... 1000... etc. simply move the decimal place over to the left an equal number of times as the number of zeroes in the number. In the case of 100, move the decimal point over 2 times. 

Also, if the decimal point isn't shown then write it (or imagine it) right next to the last digit in the number, like so: 

5.%

Moving the decimal 2 to the left (dividing by 100) yields this result: 
0.05

Keep in mind 5% and 0.05 are equal, but in the case of 0.05 we can work with it, while we can't work with 5%. 

Now, we simply multiply our number of miles by 0.05. 

Our answer is what the 5% increase is equal to. And since it is an INCREASE we add it to our amount of miles. 

12,000 * 0.05 = 600 miles

12,000 + 600 = 12,600 miles is our final answer!

You can also take 5% using a different method.
Taking 10% of something is the same as moving the decimal of the original total amount (12,000 miles) over by 1.This is due to the fact that you would be multiplying 12,000 by 0.1 (Which is the same as 1/10... which is the same as dividing by 10). So, if we do that we get:
1,200 = 10% of 12,000

Dividing 1,200 by 2 gives us 5% of 12,000.
1,200 / 2 = 600.

Same answer. You can pick the method you like best. (Also, if you move the decimal point over 2 times you are finding 1% of the number... so 1% of 12,000 is... 120. Multiplying that by 5 gets you 5%. So 120 * 5 = 600. You can use these to help you out, but either method works)

1260. You do 1200*.05= 60. Then 1200+60=1260

Which equation can be used to calculate the area of the shaded triangle in the figure below?
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

It is \frac{1}{2} (12 × 4) = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{2} (base × height) = area of triangle

\frac{1}{2} (12 × 4) = area

area = 24

Find the constant rate of change for each linear function and interpret its meaning
Marina CMI [18]

the slope goes by several names

• average rate of change

• rate of change

• deltaY over deltaX

• Δy over Δx

• rise over run

• gradient

• constant of proportionality

however, is the same cat wearing different costumes.

and to get it, we simply need two points off of the straight line, hmm let's use the ones in the picture below.

(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{6}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{6}-\stackrel{y1}{4}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{6}-\underset{x_1}{2}}}\implies \cfrac{2}{4}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}

In Rhombus ABCD if BD is 24 ft and AD is 15 ft, then what is the length of AC?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

AC = 24ft

Step by Step Explanation.

Given.

Rhombus.

BD = 24ft

AD = 15ft

Required

Length of AC

A rhombus has 4 equal sides; hence, the given shape will be regarded as a parallelogram and not rhombus (see attachment for diagram)

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are always of equal length

From the attached diagram (not drawn to scale), side AC opposites side BD

Given that BD = 24ft, then

AC = BD = 24ft.

Hence, AC = 24ft

350 people visited a zoo the zoo has four types of tickets the manager wants a sample of size 30, stratified by ticket type. how
NARA [144]

Answer:

The number of teenagers in the stratified sample of equal proportion is 30 teenagers

Step-by-step explanation:

Whereby tickets are sold to only adults male and female and teenagers, boys and girls, we have the following groups

Group 1: Female adult

Group 2: Male adult

Group 3: Teenage boys

Group 4: Teenage girls

In stratified sampling, the types of people that visit the zoo (which is the target population) are identified and the appropriate proportion of each of the identified types is determined such that the sample is representative of the population

Where equal number of each group are observed to have visited the zoo, then, the appropriate sample size of the teenager is found as follows;

Number of groups identified = 4

Sample size = 30

Appropriate proportion of each group = 1/4

Number of teenage boys in the sample = 1/4×30 = 15

Number of teenage girls in the sample = 1/4×30 = 15

Total number of teenagers in the sample = 15 + 15 = 30 teenagers.
