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>

A rectangular pan has a length that is the width. The total area of the pan is 432 in.2. What is the width of the cake pan? A =
spayn [35]

Answer:

Let width = w

length = 4w/3

Area = 432 = length*width = w*4w/3

4w^2/3 = 432

w^2 = 432*3/4 = 324

w = 18

so the width of the cake pan is 18 inches.

Solve the simultaneous equations<br>8x – 3y = 30<br>3x + y = 7​
hodyreva [135]
Solve for y in 3x+7=y

y=7−3x

Substitute y=7−3x

y=7−3x into 8x−3y=30

8x−3y=30.

17x−21=30

Solve for x

x in 17x−21=30

17x−21=30.

X=3

Substitute x=3 into y=7−3x

y=-2

Therefore,

x=3

y=−2
