The answer is x equals 24
you set up a proportion new over old
so for red cars 40 over 5
since we don’t know the new for blue cars we’ll use x
so x over 3
we then make them equal to each other
40 x
—- = —-
5 3
cross multiply, then we get
120=5x
isolate the x by dividing 5 from both sides to get 24
9514 1404 393
Answer:
D. $101,000 – $120,000
Step-by-step explanation:
The bar graph is not completely labeled, but in the context of the question it seems safe to assume that the vertical scale can be considered to represent relative frequency.
So, the shortest bar is the one with the lowest frequency. The horizontal scale identifies that as 101-120. If we assume that is salary in thousands of dollars, then Choice D is appropriate.
4800 divide by 3=1600 (2 cars 1 truck)
4600-1600-3000 (6 cars)
3000 divide by 3 = 1000(2cars)
1000 times 2=2000(4 cars )
4800-2000-2800 (2 cars 3 trucks)
$2,800 is your answer
