Option A: The vessel has sailed 34 miles South
Explanation:
Given that the vessel sails 41 miles S 35° E.
We need to determine the how far south the vessel has sailed.
Let us use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance of the vessel has sailed.
Thus, we have,

Substituting
,
and 
Hence, we get,

Simplifying, we have,

Multiplying both sides by 41, we have,

Rounding off to the nearest integer, we have,

Thus, the vessel has sailed 34 miles South.
Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.
The answer is B, the x-axis crosses over to -8 the way the line goes also means it is a negative. I don't know for sure because i haven't done this in a while but I hope it helps.
<em>My goodness, this is rather confusing in the way it is worded. Nevertheless, I will attempt to do what I can. Just please keep in mind that this is my own interpretation of the problem, and therefore could be... incorrect.</em>
<em>I think, to start out, we could set up the problem like so</em>
<em>15 + t ≥ 26</em>
<em>because t is not a set number. </em>
<em>Then all that is needed is to subtract 15 from both sides, and the equation becomes</em>
<em>t ≥ 11</em>
<em>So the resulting answer is t ≥ 11.</em>

40% means 0.4 .
So . . . . . 7 = 0.4 N .
Divide each side by 0.4 . . . N = 7/0.4 = 17.5
