Answer:

100 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Population Of People=115Percentagencrease=15%

The New Population corresponds to 115%

(That is 100+15)

We want to find the population that corresponds to 100% that is the original population.

Therefore Original Population;

 $\frac{100}{115}\times {115}{}$ 

 $100 \: people$

Factor: 8ab - 16ac + 12a

aksik [14]

The GCF we factor out is 4a

8ab = 4a*2b
16ac = 4a*4c
12a = 4a*3

Each term has been factored so that 4a is a factor

Using those factorizations, we can use the distributive property in reverse
8ab - 16ac + 12a = 4a*2b - 4a*4c + 4a*3
8ab - 16ac + 12a = 4a*(2b - 4c + 3)

Answer is choice A

Profit is equal to the revenue obtained from selling items minus the cost of producing those items, i.e. P(x) = R(x) – C(x) wher

DIA [1.3K]

P(x)=R(x)-C(x)
Given that:
R(x)=2.5x and C(x)=0.5x+3
Then,
P(x)=2.5x-(0.5x+3)
P(x)=2x-3
thus for profit of $99, the number of units will be found as follows:
99=2x-3
solving for x we get:
102=2x
x=56 units
