This bar graph shows the number of hurricane in the Atlantic Basin from 2006-2011. Find the amount of change and the percent of
decrease in the number of hurricanes from 2008 to 2009 and from 2010 to 2011. Compare the amount of change and percents of decrease.
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of hurricanes in year 2008 = 8
Number of hurricanes in year 2009 = 3
Decrease in number of hurricanes = 8 - 3 = 5
Percent of decrease in number of hurricanes = = 62.5%
Number of hurricanes in year 2010 = 12
Number of hurricanes in year 2011 = 7
Decrease in number of hurricanes = 12 - 7 = 5
Percentage decrease in number of hurricanes = = 41.7%
Decrease in numbers of hurricanes in year 2010 - 11 was same as in year 2010 - 11.
Percentage decrease in hurricanes were more in year 2008 - 09 than percentage decrease in year 2010 - 11.

We check with each options
'Or' represents the intersection of two graphs
'And' represents two separate graphs'
We have two separate shaded part in the given graph
So we ignore the options that has 'and' in between
LEts check first and second option
Simplify the first part and second part
multiply both sides by 2 .
x < 2 or 4x - 2 > = 26
solve 4x-2 > = 26
add 2 on both sides and then divide both sides by 4
4x >= 28
x >= 7
So solution is x<2 or x>=7 . that is the graph on number line
Lets check with second option
3x-3<3 or 2x+8>=22
add 3 on both sides
3x < 6
divide both sides by 3
so x< 2
2x+8>=22
subtract 8 on both sides
2x >= 30
divide both sides by 2
x >= 15
x<2 or x>=15 that does not satisfies the graph
So option A is correct
