Suppose you go shopping for a new futon bed for your apartment/home. The model you really like happens to be on sale for $1100.
It's original price is $1200. What percent of the original price will you save if you purchase it? Write your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent, but in decimal form.
<span>If a model of a bed is on sale for $1100 out of $1200, you determine the percentage off with 1100/1200, which simplifies to 11/12. 11/12 is 91.7%. We then subtract that from 100%, so we get 100-91.7, leading us to a percentage saved of 8.3%.</span>
The projected population for 2015 is around 83,600 people.
Step-by-step explanation:
If between 2005 and 2010, the population grew by 32,800 people, and the model of this problem is linear. Then that means in another 5 years, another 32,800 people would populate the area. Hopefully this makes sense!
