Answer:

Dogs: 44.44 Cats: 55.556

Step-by-step explanation:

*this is <em>only </em>if you are allowed to use a calculator*

1. You have to add the total of the cats and dogs

Why? Here, let me put it this way. You have a test with two sections: math and science. If there are 2 Maths Questions and 2 Science questions, what percent of the test are math questions? You would not say 2/2 and say 100. You would say 2/4 because it is obvious. You do the same in this case but it is not as noticeable because you are dealing with bigger numbers.

15 + 12 = <u>27</u>.

2. Solve

<u>a. </u>There are 15 dogs and 12 cats that makes up 27 pets total.

So you have to do 12/27 for cats,

15/27 for dogs. The fractions equal one and It shows you how much of one is there compared to the total.

<u>b. </u><u><em>Simplify</em></u>

You can simplify these fractions:

for 12/27, divide the numerator and the denominator by 3.

You get 4/9

Divide 15/27 for dogs by 3 as well to get 5/9.

5+4 is 9, which means that I am doing the math correctly.

According to the calculator, 5/9 is 55.556, and 4/9 is 44.444

They should be accurate because there are more dogs than cats and the percentage for dogs are higher. Hence, this is correct.

Cats = 4/9 = 44.444%

Dogs = 5/9 = 55.556%

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

the answer is d.

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you want to use the formula,

new value - original value

<u>____________________</u>

         original value              * 100

you see that 84 is the new value and 79 would be the original value. substitute the numbers in. this is a increase since you will get a positive value.

84 - 79

<u>______</u>

   79      * 100

now we solve it.

5

<u>__</u>

79  * 100

you can either solve the fraction first then multiply that by 100 or multiply the numerator by 100 first then divide that by 79, each way works.

500

<u>____</u>

 79   =  approximately 6.3% increase (this is not a exact value, just rounded)

      or

5

<u>__</u>

79  = approximately 0.063 (this is not a exact value, just rounded)

0.063 * 100 = 6.3% increase

Find XY<br><br> Please Help<br> Picture Attched
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

First you'll need to understad what Perpendicular Bisector Theorem is:

The Perpendicular Bisector Theorem states that a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment if and only if it is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.

so X=45 degrees

and Y= 90 degrees

I'm not sure about X

but I hope this helps

:D
