The slope is 2 because remember, y= mx+b
m= slope
the slope is always multiplied by x
Assume that 100% = 45 sales and 35% = X sales amount
You can create a ratio to help you solve for x
45 = 100%
x = 35 %
Which is equal to this fraction: (45/x) = (100/35)
Solving for X by cross multiplying and dividing by 100:
[(45)(35)] / 100 = X = 15.75 = 16 sales (rounded up)
You would need at least 16 sales to increase sales total by 35%
We know that
<span>4 1/2 gallons-------> (4+2+1)/2-----> 9/2 gallons
</span>
1 <span> wall in the house will need --------> 3/4 of a gallon of paint
</span> X wall-----------------------------------> 9/2 gallons
x=(9/2)/(3/4)----> 9*4/2*3-----> 36/6----> 6 walls
the answer is
6 walls
