Setler79 [48]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1000 readers

Step-by-step explanation:

40 people represent 4% of the total number of readers.

4% is 1/25 of 100%, therefore:

4% x 25 = 100%

So, if we multiply the number of people that represent 4% by 25, we will get the total number (100%).

40 x 25 = 1,000

The newspaper has 1000 total readers.

Alternatively, you could also divide 4% (40) by 4 which would give you 1%=10. Multiply this by 100 to get 100% which gives us: 100% = 1000.

Hope this helped!

Two consecutive odd integers have a difference of 2. If you let the smaller one of them be x, the other one is x + 2.

Their sum is -36, so add x and x + 2, and set equal to -36. Then solve for x to find the smaller one. Finally, 2 more than x is the greater of the two integers.

x + x + 2 = -36

2x + 2 = -36

2x = -38

x = -19

The smaller one of the two integers is -19.

x + 2 = -19 + 2 = -17

The greater of the two integers is -17.

Answer: The integers are -19 and -17.

How do i find y in y=mx+c if m=8 and (5,3)
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

y = 8x-37

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+c

We know the slope m

y=8x+c

We know a point on the line (5,3).  Substitute this in for x and y

3 = 8(5) +c

3 = 40+c

3-40 = 40+c-40

-37 =c

y = 8x-37
