<h3>Answer: D) 12.5%</h3>

=================================

Work Shown:

A = old amount = 48

B = new amount = 54

C = percent change

C = [(B-A)/A]*100%

C = [(54-48)/48]*100%

C = [6/48]*100%

C = 0.125*100%

C = 12.5%

The value of C is positive to indicate a percent increase.

So we have a 12.5% increase.

-----------

Note how 12.5% of 48 is 0.125*48 = 6

A 12.5% increase of 48 means we have an increase of 6

So, 48+6 = 54, which matches with what the instructions say. This confirms the answer.

As a shortcut, we could check it by saying 1.125*48 = 54

I think of a number and add one fourth of it to half of it and the result is twelve. What is the number I thought of?

belka [17]

Suppose that the number u were thinking about is x thus :

$\frac{1}{4} x + \frac{1}{2} x = 12 \\$

Multiply both sides by 4

$4 \times ( \frac{1}{4} x + \frac{1}{2} x) = 4 \times 12 \\$

$x + 2x = 48$

$3x = 48$

Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{48}{3 } \\$

$x = 16$

Find an equation for the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are (5,-9) and (1,3).

____ [38]

Given coordinates of the endpoints of a line segment (5,-9) and (1,3).

In order to find the equation of perpendicular line, we need to find the slope between given coordinates.

Slope between (5,-9) and (1,3) is :

$\mathrm{Slope\:between\:two\:points}:\quad \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\frac{3-\left(-9\right)}{1-5}$

$m=-3$

Slope of the perpendicular line is reciprocal and opposite in sign.

Therefore, slope of the perpendicular line = 1/3.

Now, we need to find the midpoint of the given coordinates.

$\mathrm{Midpoint\:of\:}\left(x_1,\:y_1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right):\quad \left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)$

$=\left(\frac{1+5}{2},\:\frac{3-9}{2}\right)$

$=\left(3,\:-3\right)$

Let us apply point-slope form of the linear equation:

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y - (-3) = 1/3 (x - 3)

y +3 = 1/3 x - 1

Subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

y +3-3 = 1/3 x - 1 -3
