The answer to your question would be 216.

If 54 makes up 25 percent, then x makes up 100 percent. Using this phrase we can write a proportion or use equivalent fractions.

54/25= x/100

A whole is 100 percent and we know 25 percent. Then it is simple to go from 25 percent to 100 percent. Simply multiply 25 times 4 to get 100 percent. Since we multiplied the denominator by four, then we have to multiply the numerator (54) by 4. 54 times 4 is 216.

25% is 1/4.

This means that 1/4 of the books in the library is 54, so just multiply 54 by 4, which gives you 100%, or all of the books. 54 times 4 is equal to 216, so there are 216 books in the library.

If ( f ∘ g)(x) = x2 - 6x + 8 and g(x) = x - 3, what is f(x)?

DochEvi [55]

$\bf \begin{cases}
(f\circ g)(x)=x^2-6x+8\\\\
(f\circ g)(x)=f(~~g(x)~~)\\\\
g(x)=x-3\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\textit{now, one probability is }x^2-1
\\\\\\
f(x)=x^2-1\implies f(~~g(x)~~)=(x-3)^2-1
\\\\\\
f(~~g(x)~~)=(x^2-6x+9)-1\implies f(~~g(x)~~)=x^2-6x+8$

In the year 2003 a company made 8.8 million in profits. For each consecutive year after that their profits increased by 6%. How

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The company's profit in 2007 was 11.088 millions

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a compound interest problem where the initial amount is 8.8 million, the interest rate is 6% and the time period is 4 years and it gets compounded yearly. So we can use the compound interest formula, that is given by:

A = P*(1 + r/n)^(n*t)

Where A is the final amount, P is the initial amount, r is the rate, t is the total amount of time and n is the number of times it gets compounded in one year. We can now use all the values that were given to us to find out the profit of the company.

A = 8.8*(1 + (0.06))^(4) = 8.8*(1.06)^16

A = 8.8*1.26 = 11.088 millions

So the company's profit in 2007 was 11.088 millions
