Answer:

28 million college students.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can represent all college students as x. This means that all part-time college students are \frac{31}{100}x. Because all part-time college students are also equal to 8.6 million, we have 8,600,000=\frac{31}{100}x. To find the number of total college students, or x, we have to multiply by 100/31 to get rid of the fraction on the other side:

8,600,00\cdot\frac{100}{31}=x

The left side of the equation evaluates as 27,741,935.5. Because we are asked to round to the nearest million, we have to round to 28 million, which is the closest.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer: 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Old price = $28,640

New price = $27,208

Solution:

Percentage of decrease

= old price - new price / old price * 100

= $28,640 - $27,208 /. $28,640 * 100

= $1432/$28,640*100

= 0.05*100

= 5%.

The percentage of decrease for the car is 5%.

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

f(x) = \frac{1}{2}x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the function is,

f(x) = mx + b

Here, m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

From the graph attached,

y-intercept 'b' = 4

Slope = \frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}

          = \frac{4}{8}

          = \frac{1}{2}

Therefore, equation of the function representing the graph will be,

f(x) = \frac{1}{2}x+4
