from the diagram, we can see that the height or line perpendicular to the parallel sides is 8.5.
likewise we can see that the parallel sides or "bases" are 24.3 and 9.7, so

Total number of people = n
Number of female = 30/100 n
Number of male = 1295
Number of females = 579 total female
Answer:
His raise is $.28 per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate his raise, we multiply how much he is making by the percent of his raise
raise = 8*3.5%
Change to decimal form
raise = 8 *.035
raise = .28
His raise is $.28
