Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

So if 14% are over 65, and 320 residents are over 65, then we can say that 14% of the town is 320. Then, we can divide by 14 to find 1%, which is 22.857142857 Now we can multiply this by 100 to get 2285.7142857, which is the answer. To double check, you'd just find 14% of 2285.7142857 (multiply by 0.14) which is equal to 320. Because you can't have fractions of people, however, you'd have to round the answer up to 2286 people.

If that is too difficult to understand them hope this is easier

14% of the towns population is 320. Let P denote the towns population.

14/100 * P =320

14P/100 = 320

14P = 32000

divide both sides by 14

P = 2285.71

the towns population is 2286

Hope this helps!

Write the equation of each line in slope-intercept form and identify the slope. 4x=2+y
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

y = 4x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 4x=2+y

First, subtract 2 on both sides to isolate out y. (Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b)

Once subtracted, you get: 4x-2=y

Rearrange it, and you get: y=4x-2

#9 - The Question
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

  12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many ways to approach this problem. I like a method that uses the least amount of computation. We could figure how much Wendy makes on a bag of chips, the additional amount Wendy wants to make, then divide the latter by the former to find the number of additional bags to sell.

We could use a proportion to figure the number of bags corresponding to $126 in earnings, then subtract the 72 bags already sold. Essentially, we will do this, but without the intermediate numbers.

__

The additional fraction of 72 bags will be ...

   (126/108) -1 = 18/108 = 1/6

Then Wendy must sell an additional ...

  (1/6)×(72 bags) = 12 bags

to increase her earnings to $126.
