Assume that 100% = 45 sales and 35% = X sales amount
You can create a ratio to help you solve for x
45 = 100%
x = 35 %
Which is equal to this fraction: (45/x) = (100/35)
Solving for X by cross multiplying and dividing by 100:
[(45)(35)] / 100 = X = 15.75 = 16 sales (rounded up)
You would need at least 16 sales to increase sales total by 35%
638-243 = 395 miles
rounding up, it would be 400 miles
Both of your answers are correct. In the first equation, if you were to substitute 3 for x, because you have to do exponents first, you have 3^2, which is 9, and 9*6 =54. If you were to substitute -3 for x again you would have to do the exponents first which would be -3^2 which is 9, and 9*6 = 54.
For the second question, if I substitute 0.75 for t, I get -9 + 18 + 7. This is equal to 16, and therefore the answer would be D. Hope this helps! :D. Let me know if you have questions about my explanation, and feel free to post more questions.
DX1.21 because 1.21 means 21 percent more than d
