we want to in 85% of the total population

percent means parts out of 100 so 85% is 85/100

85% 'of' 15000 means 85/100 times 15000=12750 people who were over 40 and voted

Half of your baseball card collection got wet and was ruined. you bought 14 cards to replace some that were lost.how many did yo
Mamont248 [21]

Because you added 14 cards to your collection, we'll have to subtract that:

40 - 14 = 26

Knowing that 26 cards is half of your old card deck, we know that your old card deck is:

26*2 = 52

You have option b. 52 cards before.

a soccer team won 6 games out 10 total game if they played 25 total games how many games did they win
Lana71 [14]
Okay, so if with 10 games, they win 6, they would win 12 with 20. To find the 5, you would find half of 6 (since half of 10 is 5). Half of 6 is three. 3 plus 12 is 15. They would win 15 games.

On a coordinate plane, 2 polygons are shown. Polygon A B C D has points (negative 3, 3), (5, 3), (5, negative 1), and (1, negati
ad-work [718]

Answer:

A dilation with a scale factor of One-fourth and then a translation

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot points A, B, C, D, A', B, C' and D' on the coordinate plane and draw quadrilaterals ABCD and A'B'C'D'.

These quadrilaterals are similar and quadrilateral a'B'C'D' has sides 4 times smaller than quadrilateral ABCD.

This means that the dilation with a scale factor of one-fourth was performed.

The figures were not rotated (they have the same positions), so the second transformation was translation.

Hence, correct option is B: a dilation with a scale factor of One-fourth and then a translation
