This is a two step problem. First, you need to find the difference (or increase) in the rent using subtraction.

616-560 = $56 increase

Now we need to figure what percent 56 is to the original amount (560)

We voice it like this:

56 is to 560 as x is to 100.

The equation looks like this:

56/560 - x/100

Cross multiply to cancel out the denominators.

56 x 100 = 560 x

5600 = 560 x

x = 10 percent.

Check it!

What is 10 percent of 560?

560 x .1 = $56

Was that your increase? ... yes.

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the formula for percent increase: 616-560/560 * 100 = 56/560*100=10%... ALL CREDIT GOES TO AOPS

iven: C is a point on the perpendicular bisector, l, of AB. Prove: AC = BC Use the drop-down menus to complete the proof. By the

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

See the attached figure for better explanation :

Step-by-step explanation :

1. By the unique line postulate, you can draw only one line segment : BC

Since only one line can be drawn between two distinct points.

2. Using the definition of reflection, reflect BC over l.

To find line segment which reflects BC over l, we will use the definition of reflection.

3. By the definition of reflection, C is the image of itself and A is the image of B.

Definition of reflection says the figure about a line is transformed to form the mirror image. Now, CD is perpendicular bisector of AB so A and B are equidistant from D forming the mirror image of each other.

4. Since reflections preserve length, AC = BC

In Reflection the figure is transformed to form a mirror image, Hence the length will be preserved in case of reflection.

Laila wants to create a data display to clearly show the median salary, the highest salary,

deff fn [24]

Answer:

a box plot

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the number of employees at her company is 685

If she chooses to create a dot plot, it means that she need to draw a lot, the total number of dots is 685 and even a wide domain of the number of data values on the x-axis.

If she chooses the box lot, which means that she wants to displays the five-number summary of a set of data. The five-number summary is the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum.

=> So it is the best fit for her choice.

If she chooses histogram, it means that she wants to group numbers into ranges to identify the underlying frequency distribution (shape) of a set of continuous data

Hope it will find you well

This star is made up of 4 equilateral triangles of equal area and a square.

pentagon [3]

Answer:

24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Picture of the star is made up of 4 unshaded equilateral triangles of equal area and a shaded square.

Area of the shaded region (square) = $9\,\, cm^2$

To find: the perimeter of the star

Solution:

Area of the shaded region (square) = $9\,\, cm^2$

Area of square = $(side)^2$

$(side)^2=9\\side=3\,\,cm$

As each equilateral triangle has side lengths that are the same as the side length of the square,

length of side of the star = 3 cm

Perimeter is the sum of lengths of the sides.

Perimeter of star = sum of 8 sides of the star

= 8 × 3 = 24 cm

If ce = 7x+4, find the value of x

Alex787 [66]

Hey there,

To find the value of x we can take the two, CD or DE and set them equal to CE.

First step is set the lines equal to each other:

x + 3 + 8x - 9 = 7x + 4

Now we combine like terms:

9x - 6 = 7x + 4

Then we subtract 7x from both sides:

2x - 6 = 4

Add 6 to both sides:

2x = 10

Lastly we divide both sides by 2:

x = 5

So the value of x would have to be 5.

Hope I helped,

Pedro has created the function f(x)= 4x-3/2 to represent the number of assingments he has completed where x represents the numbe

Law Incorporation [45]

The given function is
f(x) = 4x - 3/2
where
f(x) = number of assignments completed
x = number of weeks required to complete the assignments

We want to find f⁻¹ (30) as an estimate of the number of weeks required to complete 30 assignments.
The procedure is as follows:

1. Set y = f(x)
y = 4x - 3/2

2. Exchange x and y
x = 4y - 3/2

3. Solve for y
4y = x + 3/2
y = (x +3/2)/4

4. Set y equal to f⁻¹ (x)
f⁻¹ (x) = (x + 3/2)/4

5. Find f⁻¹ (30)
f⁻¹ (30) = (30 + 3/2)/4 = 63/8 = 8 (approxmately)

Answer:
Pedro needs about 8 weeks to complete 30 assignments.
