Answer:

100 people

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Population</em><em> </em><em>Of</em><em> </em><em>People</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>Percentage</em><em>ncrease</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>%</em>

<em>The</em><em> </em><em>New</em><em> </em><em>Population </em><em>corresponds </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>%</em>

<em>(</em><em>That</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em>0</em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>)</em>

<em>We</em><em> </em><em>want</em><em> </em><em>to </em><em>find</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>popula</em><em>tion</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>corresponds</em><em> </em><em>to </em><em>100%</em><em> </em><em>that </em><em>is </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>original</em><em> </em><em>population</em><em>.</em>

<em>Therefore</em><em> </em><em>Original </em><em>Population</em><em>;</em>

<em>\frac{100}{115}\times {115}{}</em>

<em>100 \: people</em>

What is BC?<br><br> Enter your answer in the box<br><br> _units
laiz [17]

Answer:

<h2>BC = 25</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

It's an isosceles triangle (congruent angles ∠C ≅ ∠B).

Therefore AC = AB.

We have the equation:

4x+1=2x+23        <em>subtract 1 from both sides</em>

4x=2x+22       <em>subtract 2x from both sides</em>

2x=22          <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

x=11

Substitute the value of <em>x</em> to the expression BC = 3x - 8:

BC = 3(11) - 8=33-8=25

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

B. ​$ 3094.01

Step-by-step explanation:

Given observations are,

$2894.21, ​ $1777.15, ​ $2144.77, ​ $4096.37, ​ $4046.29, ​$1786.37, ​ $3296.69, ​ $4086.27, ​ $2784.22

Number of observations = 10,

Sum of the observations = 2894.21​+1777.15​+2144.77​+4096.37​+4046.29​+1786.37​+3296.69​+4086.27​+2784.22​+4027.79 = 30940.13,

Hence,

Mean = \frac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observation}}

=\frac{30940.13}{10}

=3094.013

\approx 3094.01

Option 'B' is correct.
