When working with percents, don't divide them, because it will give you the wrong answer. So you must find the equivalent of the percent you're working with in decimal form, then multiply it by your number.
So, you would do 550 X .24 which equals 132 customers.

JulijaS [17]
Use proportions. 

2 chocolate chips : 6 peanuts =     ?   chocolate chips : 108 peanuts

Find the scale factor of the information that matches. In this case it would be 108 peanuts divided by 6 peanuts. Then use this scale factor to multiply 2 chocolate chips by to get your answer.

SF: 108 <span>÷ 6 = 18

18 x 2 = 36 chocolate chips

2 chocolate chips : 6 peanuts =  36 chocolate chips : 108 peanuts

ANSWER: If there are 108 peanuts in the mix, there will be 36 chocolate chips in the mix.</span>

A television manufacturer decides to increase its production by 25% per month to meet increasing customer demand. The company cu
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The last graph

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem presented here is similar to a compound interest problem since we have an initial value, a growth constant and the aspect of time.

We can consider the number of television sets currently produced by the company to be our Principal amount;

P = 2000

The rate of increase in production per month can be considered as our interest rate earned;

r = 25% = 0.25

The total number of television sets y will be our Accumulated amount;

A = y

The duration x becomes our time n.

The compound interest formula is given as;

A=P(1+r)^{n}

We simply substitute the given information into the formula;

y=2000(1.25)^{x}

This is an exponential growth function since the base of the exponent x is greater than 1.

A graph of the function will be an exponential curve passing through ( 0, 2000) since 2000 is our initial value
