Given:
Kim picked 250 pounds of pears yesterday and 287 pounds of pears today.
To find:
The percentage increase of amount of pears picked by Kim.
Solution:
We know that,





Therefore, the percentage increase of amount of pears picked by Kim is 14.8%.
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope of two lines that are perpendicular to each other is 1.
If one line is
, then its slope = 3 [by comparing to the linear equation y= mx+c, here m=3]
Let n be the slope of the required line, then

Equation of line with slope n and passers through (a,b) is

Equation of line with slope n=
and passes through point ( 0,-4) :

Hence, Required equation : 
25 x 4 equals 100. and 250 x 4 =1000. so one fourth of 1000 is 250.
