$9.65=?
9.65*100/9.78
=98.67%
%decrease=100%-98.67%
=1.33%
=1.3%
"y>-2x+2 and y>-2x+5" are illustrated graphically by 2 straight dashed lines with slope -2. The lines are parallel because their slopes (-2) are the same. One line has y intercept 2 and the other has y intercept 5. The latter is above the former. Since both inequality signs are " > " we must shade the area ABOVE each of the 2 lines. The solution set is the area of the graph that has been shaded twice, once for y>-2x+2 and again for y>-2x+5. It's y>-2x+5 that has been shaded twice; this area is immediately above the line y>-2x+5.
Answer: the number of students that were surveyed is 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = total number of students that were surveyed about their favorite colors
1/4 of the students preferred red.
This means that the number of students that preferred red is 1/4 × x = x/4
1/8 of the students preferred blue.
This means that the number of students that preferred blue is 1/8 × x = x/8
The remaining number of students will be the total number of students - the sum of the number of students that preferred red and the number of students that preferred blue. It becomes
x - (x/4 + x/8) = x - 3x/8 = 5x/8
3/5 of the remaining students were for green. This means that the number of students that preferred green is 3/5 × 5x/8 = 3x/8
if 15 students prefer green, then
3x/8 = 15
3x = 120
x = 120/3 = 40 students
Answer:
30 dogs
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 40 cats, and 25% more cats than dogs. If you find 25% of 40, you get 10. That means there are 10 more cats than dogs. 40-10= 30.
30 dogs.
