Answer:

  32.4

Step-by-step explanation:

prior + 8.1 = 40.5 . . . . . . seems to model the problem statement

prior = 32.4 . . . . . . . subtract 8.1 from both sides

Prior to the increase the percent was 32.4.

_____

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>

When you're talking about a percentage increase in a percentage, it is almost never clear whether you're talking about the percentage of the underlying number, or the percentage of the percentage.

Here, we assume the 8.1 is a percentage of working students, not a percentage of the percentage of workings students. If you actually intend the latter, the percentage before the increase was about 37.465%.

e vertices of a rectangle are R(-5,-5), S(-6,-5),T(-1,1),U(-5,1) a translation maps R to the point (2,-9)
Tema [17]

Answer:

The rule of translation : (x,y)\rightarrow (x+7,y-4)

The vertices of image is R'(2,-9), S'(1,-9), T'(6,-3) and U'(2,-3).

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices of a rectangle are R(-5,-5), S(-6,-5), T(-1,1), U(-5,1).

It is given that a translation maps R to the point (2,-9).

Difference between x-coordinates:

-5-2=-7

Difference between y-coordinates:

-5-(-9)=-5+9=4

The x-coordinate increased by 7 and y-coordinate decreased by 4. It means the figure shifts 7 units right and 4 units down.

The rule of translation is

(x,y)\rightarrow (x+7,y-4)

The vertices of image are

R(-5,-5)\rightarrow R'(-5+7,-5-4)=R'(2,-9)

S(-6,-5)\rightarrow S'(-6+7,-5-4)=S'(1,-9)

T(-1,1)\rightarrow T'(-1+7,1-4)=T'(6,-3)

U(-5,1)\rightarrow U'(-5+7,1-4)=U'(2,-3)

Therefore, the vertices of image are R'(2,-9), S'(1,-9), T'(6,-3) and U'(2,-3).
