The New pay in current year is = $ 2225

The old pay in the last year was = $ 2176

percentage (%) increase formula = (new value- old value ) *100 / old value

which becomes,,

$\frac{2225-2176}{2176} *100$

which equals to 2.3% .

Hence, the average net pay per month increased is 2.3% .

Answer:

percentage increase in salary = 2.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

This year monthly pay $2225

last year monthly pay $2176

change in monthly salary is = this year salary - last year salary

= 2225 - 2176 = 49

average average net pay increase in month is given as

percentage increase $= \frac{change\ in\ monthly\ salary}{last\ year\ salary} \100$

percentage increase in salary $= \frac{49}{2176} \times 100$

percentage increase in salary = 2.3%

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

She wrote 9 pages per day on average

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of pages that Carolyn wrote in her journal each day from Monday to Friday is shown below:

Monday = 9

Tuesday =8

Wednesday = 12

Thursday = 6

Friday = 10

$Mean = \frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{No. of observations}}\\Mean =\frac{9+8+12+6+10}{5}$

Mean=9

Hence She wrote 9 pages per day on average

State, with an explanation, whether the mean, median, or mode gives the best description of the following average. The average

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The mean is the better method.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to meassure the average height is throught mean. The mean of a sample is the average of that sample's height, and it will be a good estimate for the population's average height.

The mode just finds the most frequent height. Even tough the most frequent height will influence the average height, knowing only what height is the most frequent one doesnt give you enough informtation about how the height is centrally distributed.

As for the median, it is fine to use the median of a sample to estimate the median of the population, but if you use the median to estimate the average height you may have a few issues. For example, if you include babies in your population, the babies will push the average height down a lot and they are far below te median height. This, as a result, will give you a median height of a sample way above the average height of the population, becuase median just weights every person's height the same, while average will weight extreme values more, in the sense that a small proportion of extreme values can push the average far from the median.

Melissa wants to make a table representing the area of her vegetable garden for a variety of different lengths of the tomato pat

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

$\begin{array}{cc}Length \ of \ Tomato \ Patch \ (in \ feet)&Area \ of \ Vegetable \ Garden \ (in \ square \ feet)\\\ [6.25]&338\\6.5&[242.625]\\ \ [6.75]&147.25\\7&[51.875]\end{array}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The date from the given table, is expressed as follows;

Area of Vegetable Garden (in square feet); 338, ___, 147.25, ___

Length of Tomato Patch (in feet); ___, 6.5, ___, 7

The length of the tomato patch increases with decrease in the area of the garden

Given that the length of the tomato patch is the independent variable, we can have;

Length of Tomato Patch (in feet); 6.25, 6.5, 6.75, 7

Therefore, for an increase in the length of the tomato patch from 6.25 to 6.75, (a change of Δl = 0.5) the area of the vegetable garden decreased from 338 to 147.25 which is a decrease of ΔA = 190.75

Therefore, the width of the tomato patch, w = ΔA/Δl = 190.75/0.5 = 381.5

The width of the tomato patch, w = 381.5 ft.

The relationship between the total area, TA, the area of the vegetable garden, <em>A</em>, and the length of the tomato patch, <em>l</em>, is therefore, given as follows;

A = TA - 381.5·l

338 = TA - 381.5×6.25

TA = 338 + 381.5×6.25 = 2,722.375

Therefore, when l = 6.5, we get

A = 2,722.375 - 381.5×6.5 = 242.625

When l = 7, we get

A = 2,722.375 - 381.5×7 = 51.875

Therefore, we get;

$\begin{array}{cc}Length \ of \ Tomato \ Patch \ (in \ feet)&Area \ of \ Vegetable \ Garden \ (in \ square \ feet)\\\ [6.25]&338\\6.5&[242.625]\\ \ [6.75]&147.25\\7&[51.875]\end{array}$
