Answer:

The business's total revenue the previous year was $22,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the business's revenue is 15% less than it was the previous year, we can subtract that 15% from 100% to see what percentage of last year's revenue is the business getting now.

100% - 15% = 85%

So the business is getting 85% of what it got last year. We also know that this small business is getting $18,700 this year.

So really, this question is asking 18,700 is 85% of what?

Y = P% of WHAT?

18,700 = 85% of X

18,700 = 0.85 · X

Now that we have set this equation up, we solve for x. To get x alone, you must divide by 0.85 on both sides.

18,700 ÷ 0.85 = 0.85 · X ÷ 0.85

Simplified, this is 22,000 = X

So their total revenue the previous year was $22,000.

This is not the only way to do this - there are others, but this is one of the easiest to understand is more efficient.

Different ways to solve x+4=13

One way is to move the 4 to other side so it would be x = 13 - 4 and that's x = 9

The population of Adamsville grew from 7,000 to 12,000 in 5 years. Assuming uninhibited exponential growth, what is the expected
mr Goodwill [35]
We have that if we assume standard exponential growth, the equation of the population will be:7000*e^{kt} if we start counting from the moment that the population was 7000. We are given that 7000* e^{5k}=12000, namely that P(5)=12000 and we need to find 7000e^{(5+5)k}=7000e^{10k}. Since e^(10k)=e^(5k)*e^(5k), and since we can solve for e^(5k) from P(5), we have:
e^(5k)=12000/7000 and we can calculate P(10). P(10)=7000\frac{12000^2}{7000^2}= 20571 people.

\bf ~~~~~~\textit{initial velocity} \\\\ \begin{array}{llll} ~~~~~~\textit{in feet} \\\\ h(t) = -16t^2+v_ot+h_o \end{array} \quad \begin{cases} v_o=\stackrel{}{\textit{initial velocity of the object}}\\\\ h_o=\stackrel{}{\textit{initial height of the object}}\\\\ h=\stackrel{}{\textit{height of the object at "t" seconds}} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ h=-16t^2+\stackrel{\stackrel{v_o}{\downarrow }}{65}t


now, take a look at the picture below, so for 2) and 3) is the vertex of this quadratic equation, 2) is the y-coordinate and 3) the x-coordinate.
