Answer: 7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Initial jobs = 428.5 thousand

Average rate of declining of jobs  from 2010 to 2020 =  3 thousand jobs per year

From 2010 to 2020 , there are 10 years.

Total jobs declines till 2020 = 10 x (3 thousand)

= 30 thousand  (Change in jobs)

Now, utilities percent change for 2010 to 2020​ : \dfrac{change \  in \  job\  numbers}{Initial\ jobs}\times 100

=\dfrac{30}{428.5}\times100\\\\\approx7.00\%

Utilities percent change for 2010 to 2020 = 7 %

Rita earns $16.00 per hour. If she gets a 3% raise, what will be her new hourly wage?
Vikentia [17]
All percentages can be expressed as fractions or decimals. To find a percentage of a number, we multiply the percentage with the number. In this case:
3/100 * 16/1 = 48/100 = 0.48
Or:
0.03 * 16 = 0.48
Her new hourly wage would be $16.48

The area of a rectangle is 56 cm. The length is 2 cm more than x and the width is 5 cm less than twice x. Solve for x. Round to
Black_prince [1.1K]
 Length = x + 2  (because it is 2 cm more than x)
Width = 2x - 5   (5 cm lest than 2x)Area = 54 cm2  this is the formula to find the area Length × Width = Area (x + 2)(2x - 5) = 542x2 - x - 10 = 54   (this is you area)

  Subtract 54 on both sides of equation to make the right side zero. 2x2 - x - 64 = 0  then use the quadratic formula x = (-b ± √(b2 - 4ac)) / 2a where:a = 2b = -1c = -64 Plug in these values into the formula. x = (1 ± √(1 - 4(-128))) / 4 x = (1 ± √(513)) / 4 x = (1 ± 22.65) / 4 x = (1 + 22.65) / 4          and          x = (1 - 22.65) / 4 x = 5.91                          and          x = -5.41  Check the validity of the x values by adding them to the length and width.  If the length or width should be a negative value, then that value of x is not acceptable. Now x = 5.91 Length = 5.91 + 2  (positive value.)Width = 2(5.91) - 5  ( positive value.) x = 5.91    If we look at this -- x = -5.41, Both length and width will be negative values. We reject this value of x.  The answer is x = 5.91
