Answer:

A) Seattle's sales were 40.42% larger than Portland's.

B) Portland sales were 28.79% smaller than Seattle's.

C)  Portland sales were 71.21% of Seattle's.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a company's sales in Seattle were $ 330,000 in 2012, while their sales in Portland were $ 235,000 for the same year, the following calculations must be performed to complete the sentences:

A)

235,000 = 100

330,000 = X

330,000 x 100 / 235,000 = X

33,000,000 / 235,000 = X

140.42 = X

Seattle's sales were 40.42% larger than Portland's.

B)

330,000 = 100

235,000 = X

235,000 x 100 / 330,000 = X

23,500,000 / 330,000 = X

71.21 = X

100 - 71.21 = 28.79

Portland sales were 28.79% smaller than Seattle's.

C)

330,000 = 100

235,000 = X

235,000 x 100 / 330,000 = X

23,500,000 / 330,000 = X

71.21 = X

Portland sales were 71.21% of Seattle's.

Write an equation parallel to x - 3y = 9 that passes through the point ( 3, -1 )
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope formula.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)   ....   x_1 = 3 and y_1 = - 1

m is the slope to  x - 3y = 9 because (lines are  parallel )

calculate : m   by equation   x - 3y = 9 :

x = 3y +9

divid by : 3      1/3 x = y + 3

y =  (1/3) x - 3      so : m = 1/3

an equation parallel to x - 3y = 9 that passes through the point ( 3, -1 ) is :

y +1 = (1/3)(x - 3)

Denver is planting strawberry seedlings in a new garden. He can plant 3 rows of a certain length with 2 seedlings leftover or 4
Deffense [45]

Given:

Denver can plant 3 rows of a certain length with 2 seedlings leftover or 4 rows of the same length with 3 seedling spots left empty.

To find:

The equation for the given problem and its solution.

Solution:

Let x be the length of each row.

Denver can plant 3 rows of a certain length with 2 seedlings leftover.

Total number of seeds he has = 3x+2     ...(i)

Denver can plant 4 rows of the same length with 3 seedling spots left empty.

Total number of seeds he has = 4x-3        ...(ii)

Using (i) and (ii), we get

3x+2=4x-3

Isolate variable terms.

2+3=4x-3x

5=x

Therefore, the required equation is 3x+2=4x-3 and the values of x is 5. Each row is 5 meters long.

SCORPION-xisa [38]
See the attached picture to better understand the problem

we know that
in the right triangle ABC
cos 70=adjacent side angle 70/hypotenuse
adjacent side angle 70=BC----> <span>distance between the ladder and the tree trunk
hypotenuse=AC------> 15 ft

cos 70=BC/AC-------> solve for BC
BC=AC*cos 70------> BC=15*cos 70-----> BC=5.13 ft

the answer is
the </span>distance between the ladder and the tree  is 5.13 ft<span>
