No. Mike wrote the ratio as the amount of change to the new amount. He should have used the ratio of the amount of change to the original amount, which is 55

55/275 , or 20%.

20%
220 divided by 275 to get .8 
80% then 80% minus 100%
=20%

chris can run at a constant speed of 12 km/h. How ling will it take him to run from his home to the park, a distance of 0.8 km?
densk [106]

Recall that distance = speed times time. Thus, time = distance / speed.

Here:

time = distance / speed = 0.8 km / 12 km/hr = 1/15 hr.

Note that 1/15 hr = 1/15 (60 min) = 4 minutes

d. Adjustments

Studen loan interests and IRA contributions are deductions found under the heading of ADJUSTMENTS TO INCOME to compute for the Adjusted Gross Income or AGI.

Standard deductions are those based on the filing status of the individual and not his total itemized deductions. Regardless of the actual expenses incurred by an individual, he can claim a standar deduction if he is single, head of household, married filing separately, married filing jointly, qualifying widow(er). at the time he files for his federal tax return.

taxable income is the income left from all the necessary deductions.

For example: Gretchen's income =>                 $56,750
   less: Adjustments to income
             student loan interest $1,200
             IRA Contribution            3,000                  -  4,200
                                                                               ===========
Taxable income                                                    $52,550

You would be 3ft above the sea level, if you are -6ft under the sea level and if you are standing 3ft “above” you would have to clime back up 9ft to get back to the positive’s which is “positive 3” so yes, your elevation will be opposite of the “plain” since you went to a -6 to a positive 3, with different numbers.

Marrrta [24]
You don't need the names since there is 4367, and that would only be about 1/9th of the whole amount of members, so b is out of the question. you need average people to make it, so d is out of the question, and picking a random letter out of the alphabet is as arbitrary as a, but you are adding the effect of Inconsistency so I would say Let the gym management decide which members should be surveyed is the right answer
