Which is the largest three-digit number of the form 9k + 1, where k is any positive integer?​

Answer:

991

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for a number that is one more than a multiple of 9(denoted by the 9k) and is a three digit number. We can start by looking for 3-digit number divisible by 9 which are close to 1,000, since that is the next number larger than the largest three-digit number. We can tell that 999 is divisible by 9 because when divided it does not leave a remainder(you can also figure this out with divisibility tricks). We add one to get 1,000. This is not a three-digit number,  so we need to look for a smaller multiple of 9. Subtracting 9 from 999, we get the next largest multiple of 9. We can add 1, and this time, the number, 991, is a three digit number, and the largest that can be in the form 9k + 1.

The pair of points is on the graph of an inverse variation. Find the missing value. (1.6,6) and (8,y)
____ [38]
<h3>Answer: y = 1.2</h3>

Work Shown:

Inverse variation equations can be written in the form x*y = k for some fixed number k. Let's plug in the first point (x,y) = (1.6, 6) to compute the value of k

x*y = k

1.6*6 = k

9.6 = k

k = 9.6

Therefore the equation updates to

x*y = 9.6

Plug in x = 8 and solve for y

x*y = 9.6

8*y = 9.6

y = 9.6/8 .... divide both sides by 8

y = 1.2

Since your looking for the increase you can take the number from 2004
and 2014 and turn it into a fraction
54/135
now that you've done that times it by 100 like this

54/135 x 100=
40

and that will give you the percentile which is:
40%
