Answer:
The 4th answer, at the bottom.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first answer is proportional, because y is equivalent to .5x.
The second answer is also proportional, because the ratios are equivalent.
The third answer is also proportional, because the line goes through the origin.
The fourth answer isn't proportional, because the ratios aren't equivalent.
Answer:
1. 30(8.75) + 11t = 400
2. 12.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
1. What is given is you work for 30 hours per week at a gas station for $8.75 an hour. You also work as a landscaper for $11 an hour. You want to a make a total of $400 per week.
30 hours and $8.75 an hour would be equivalent to 30(8.75)
We don’t know how many hours you work as a landscaper but you earn $11 an hour, which is equivalent to 11t
Finally, you want to earn a total of $400 a week, which means the sum equals 400
30(8.75) + 11t = 400
2. 30(8.75) = 262.5
400 - 262.5 = 137.5
137.5 / 11 = 12.5
Answer: 99% decrease
Step-by-step explanation: Since the number changes from 6,000 to 60, we know that it's decreasing. Now to find the percent decrease, we divide the amount of change by the original number.
The amount of change is the difference between 6,000 and 60 and the original number is 6,000.
6,000 - 60 is 5,940 so we are left with 
and dividing 6,000 into 5,940 gives us 0<em>.</em>99.
Finally, since the problem is asking us for the <em>percent</em>, we write 0.999 as a percent by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right to get 99%.
So when a number changes from 6,000 to 60, it has decreased by 99%.
