This question is not even trying to test your arithmetic. It's just testing
to see whether you know how to read numbers in words properly.
When you read numbers in words, the only time you ever say "and"
is for a decimal point. There are no decimals in this question, so the
"and" is not a part of any numbers.
The question gives you two numbers. The word "and" is the marker
that's
BETWEEN them. The two numbers are 1,300 and 950 .
The first thing the question wants you to do is write the numerical
expression for all the words. That's (1300 - 950) / 4 .
The next thing you're supposed to do is"evaluate the expression" ...
find out what number it all boils down to. I don't think you'll have
any trouble with that now.
The answer to the question is in the picture.
Answer:
a line parallel has the same slope and different y-intercept, and the slope of the perpendicular line would be -3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 5y = 4
5y = -3x + 4
y = -3/5x + 4/5
If $1 is 5%, 100% would be $1 times 100/5= $1 times 20 = $20
