Answer:
The correct answer is X - 40% of X = 0.6 X, where X is the amount of plastic the company used initially.
Step-by-step explanation:
A company uses X amount of plastic to make bags.
But now the company decreases this amount by 40%.
Decrease in amount of plastic used is 40 % of X = 0.4X.
Therefore the expression that represents the amount of plastic used after this decrease is X - 40 % of X = X - 0.4X = 0.6X.
Thus after the decrease the company now uses 0.6X amount of plastic which is 40% less than the initial.
Answer:
The ratio of present sales to last year's sales is 28560
16320.
Reducing (canceling) the factor 80*17*3 = 4080 in the numerator and denominator, you get the fraction
equal to 7 which is the simplest form.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
As you can see the value of y increases uniformly with x, so this is a straight line. A straight line follows the formula of
When x=0, y=5, and therefore c=5
Use the formula of slope to calculate slope
