Take the absolute value of the difference, then divide it by the original amount
|28 - 24.5| / 28 = 3.5/28 = 0.125..now we multiply that by 100 to get it into a percent 0.125 * 100 = 12.5% <== ur answer
Answer:
No

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If Samantha's earnings continue to increase at the same rate, this means that her earning is increasing arithmetically.
If she earned $550 in the first day, we can say the first term is $550
If she earned $750 on the third day, we can say the third term is $750
For us to know by how much her money is increasing, we need to find the common difference d formed by the sequence
550, x , 750
T1 = 550
T2 = x
T3 = 750
Common difference d = T2-T1 = T3-T2
x - 550 = 750 - x = d
Let's calculate the second term first i.e x
Since x - 550 = 750 - x = d
x - 550 = 750 - x
Collect like terms
x+x = 750+550
2x = 1300
x = 1300/2
x = 650
d = T2-T1
d = x - T1
d = 650-550
d = 100
Hence her money keeps increasing by $100 each day
To solve these questions, use this formula:
X3= F(X1-X2)
Y3= F(Y1-Y2)
Where X3 is the X value in the coordinate your solving for, F is the fraction, X1 is the first X and X2 is the second X
Plug in your numbers to fit this:
X3= 1/4 x (0--2)
Y3= 1/4 x (4- -3)
By solving you get:
(-.5, 1.75)
Answer:
17. See below
18. 750
Step-by-step explanation:
17. Since the lollipops are being sold at the same price, 50 cents, for each one sold, they make a constant amount of money. For each increase in lollipops sold, there is a constant increase in money made, and thus the situation is a linear function.
18. To solve this equation, let's say y is the money made at the convention in dollars and x is the number of lollipops sold. If the principal gave them 125 dollars before they sold any lollipops (0 lollipops sold), then 125 is the y-intercept of the function, and in the equation y=mx+b, b=125. If each lollipop costs 50 cents (half of a dollar), then for each lollipop, x, sold, .5 dollars are made and are added to the profit, y. Thus, .5 dollars is the slope. The equation then becomes:
Now, if they need 500 dollars, y is thus equal to 500 dollars. Solving the equation:
Thus, 750 lollipops must be sold.
