Answer:

The total number of voters = 10725

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of votes cast was 5 + 8

The no votes ratio is 8/ 13

This question is a a proportion question.

A proportion question is 2 ratios equal to other. Three of the parts of the ratios are known and you are asked to find the fourth. In this question the no votes are known to be 8 and the total is 13.

The total no votes = 6600. So the three parts are known are

  • no vote ratio = 8
  • No vote number =6600
  • total vote ratio part = 13
  • You are asked to find the total number of voters.

8/13 = 6600/x               Cross multiply

8x = 13*6600                Combine the right.

8x = 85800                   Divide by 8

8x/8 = 85800/8            

x = 10725

The total number of voters = 10725

Two years ago, Sally had 5,000 dogs in her dog shelter. Now she has 24,575 dogs. The rate of change is 391.5 % increase

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Two years ago, Sally had 5,000 dogs in her dog shelter

Now she has 24,575 dogs

To find: rate of change

A rate of change is a rate that describes how one quantity changes in relation to another quantity

<h3><u>Steps to follow:</u></h3>
  • First: work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.
  • Increase = New Number - Original Number.
  • Then: divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.
  • % change = Increase ÷ Original Number x 100

\text {rate of change }=\frac{\text { new value }-\text {original value}}{\text {original value}} \times 100

\begin{array}{l}{\text { rate of change }=\frac{24,575-5000}{5000} \times 100} \\\\ {\text { rate of change }=\frac{19575}{5000} \times 100=391.5}\end{array}

Thus the rate of change is 391.5 % increase
