Answer:
132%
Step-by-step explanation:
The population of Peru = 10904
The population of Franklin = 25248.
Difference = 25248-10904=14,344
Expressing as a percentage of the population of Peru
=132%
Therefore, the population of Franklin is 132% more than the population of Peru.
The error.....Kelvin just figured the 60% markdown cost...not the final price
the final price would be : 30.65 - 0.60(30.65) = 30.65 - 18.39 = 12.26
so 12.26 is the final price
or another way to do this is : if it is marked down 60%, then u r actually paying 40%......0.40(30.65) = 12.26
Answer:
112
Step-by-step explanation:
The general form of all percentage questions is: the chunk= (some percentage) (of the whole), or c=p*w
We know that 18% of students are 8th grade and that is 126 students, so p = 0.18 and c=126 (126 students are 18% of the whole school)
126 = (0.18)w, divide both sides by 0.18
126/(0.18) = w = 700
9th graders are 16% of the school or 16% of 700 students
c = (0.16) 700 = 112 students
I hope choices must be given in the problem.
I am showing the method to find the equivalent equation of the above equation. You can match with your given choices.
First step is to expand the first term. So,
(x-4)² = (x - 4)(x - 4) Since a²= a*a
= x² - 4x - 4x + 4 * 4 By multiplying.
= x² -8x + 16 Combine the like terms.
So, (x - 4)² - (x -4) - 6
= x² - 8x + 16 - x + 4 - 6
= x² - 9x + 14 Combine the like terms.
So, equivalent equation of the above equation is x² - 9x + 14 = 0.
