Given:
2002 sold 1000 paperback books and 1500 hardback books for a total of 2,500 books.
2003 sold 15% more paperback books and 5% more hardback books.
1000 x 1.15 = 1,150 paperbacks
1500 x 1.05 = 1,575 hardbacks
1150 + 1575 = 2,725
2,725 - 2,500 = 225
225 / 2,500 = 0.09
0.09 x 100% = 9% choice C
A,b are 8,2. its an easy guess.
now that makes it easy
It's a trick question. There are an infinite number of mixed numbers between 3 and 4 that can multiply to equal 12 (for example, 3 and 3/7 times 3 and 1/2), but there are no mixed numbers between 3 and 4 that can multiply to equal 9. 3 times 3 is not between them but is 3, but that quantity is excluded because 3<x<4. Anything even a small bit above the number 3 would have to be multiplied by 2 and some fraction, which would not be between 3 and 4.
The graph that matches the given equation is y≥x-1 is Graph A.
Option: C.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The given equation y≥x-1 is a linear inequality equation.
Graphing Linear Inequalities differs from graphing regular linear equations. That is it has certain rules to be followed to draw the graph.
- First, rearrange the equation as y in the left and other terms in the opposite side.
- Check for the line: y= , y≤ and y≥ comes with straight line where as y< and y> comes with a dotted line.
- Shading: If y> greater than or y≥ greater than or equal is present then the space above the line has to be shaded. If y< less than or y≤ less than or equal is present then the space below the line has to be shaded.
For the given equation y≥x-1,
The line will be solid passing through (0,-1) and (3,2) since it has y≥. Also, the region above the line is shaded.
So the graph A is the graph that matches the equation y≥x-1.
