Given conditions are :
In 1980's, a typical middle-income household earned= $34,757
In 2009, a similar middle-income household earned= $38,550
And we have to find relative increase in income for these households from 1980 to 2009.
So first we will find the total increase in amounts.
Relative increase = 
= 10.91% or rounding it off we get approx 11%.
Hence, the answer is 11%.
If I did the math correctly I’d should be -5 or rewritten as -5/1.
Answer:
3 3/5 bags
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find the surface area of the floor of the cage first.
The cage measures 1 yard wide by 6 feet long.
1 yard = 3 feet
The floor of the cage is rectangular, so, the surface area of the floor of the cage is therefore:
3 * 6 = 18 square feet
One bag of shavings covers 5 square feet.
To find the number of bags we need to cover the floor, we divide the surface area of the floor by the number of bags per square feet.
The number of bags needed for the floor of the cage is therefore :
18 / 5 = 3 3/5 bags
Answer:
q = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
3(q - 7) = 27
3q - 21 = 27
3q = 27 + 21
3q = 48
q = 48/3
q = 16
This question is referred to two similar triangles.
One triangle has sides x and x - 2.
The other triangle has the respective sides x + x + 5 and x - 2 + x + 1
Then you can state a proportionality relation between the sides>
[x + x + 5] / x = [x - 2 + x + 1] / [x - 2]
=> [2x + 5] / x = [2x - 1] / [x - 2]
=> (2x + 5)(x - 2) = (2x - 1)x
=> 2x^2 - 4x + 5x - 10 = 2x^2 - x
=> x - 10 = - x
=> 2x = 10
=> x = 10 / 2
=> x = 5
Answer: x = 5
