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;

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

 $100 \: people$

Hi there again!! the answer wold be 1 5/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

First subtract 9 by 7. The answer is 2. Now we have 1/6 of a bag eaten, which means there is 5/6 left. But we only have 1 bag left because 5/6 is the second bag. So the answer is 1 5/6!

Answer:

y = 0.937976x +12.765
$12,765
$31,524
the cost increase each year

Step-by-step explanation:

1. For this sort of question a graphing calculator or spreadsheet are suitable tools. The attached shows the linear regression line to have the equation ...

... y = 0.937976x + 12.765

where x is years since 2000, and y is average tuition cost in thousands.

2. The y-intercept is the year-2000 tuition: $12,765.

3. Evaluating the formula for x=20 gives y ≈ 31.524, so the year-2020 tuition is expected to be $31,524.

4. The slope is the rate of change of tuition with respect to number of years. It is the average increase per year (in thousands). It amounts to about $938 per year.

The simplified version of this expression is 110g^4h^16v^6. first, remove the parenthesis. the expression becomes 10g^3h^8v^6 times 11gh^8. then, calculate the product.
