12.4% of 153,000 : some college, no degree
0.124(153,000) = 18,972

84.1% of 153,000 : bachelor's degree or higher
0.841(153,000) = 128,673

128,673 - 18,972 = 109,701 <==

1. Count 12.4% of 153,000:

153,000 - 100%,

x - 12.4%

Mathematically, you can write proportion:

\dfrac{153,000}{x}=\dfrac{100}{12.4},\\ \\x=\dfrac{153,000\cdot 12.4}{100}=18,972.

2. Count 84.1% of 153,000:

153,000 - 100%,

y - 84.1%

Mathematically, you can write proportion:

\dfrac{153,000}{y}=\dfrac{100}{84.1},\\ \\x=\dfrac{153,000\cdot 84.1}{100}=128,673.

3. There will be 128,673 writers and authors with bachelor’s degree and 18,972 writers and authors with some college experience and no degree. Then the difference is

128,673-18,972=109,701.

Answer: writers and authors with bachelor’s degree will be there 109,701 more than those with only some college experience and no degree

If f(x) = 3 – 2x and 1/x+5, what is the value of (f/g)(8)? –169 –1 13 104
Basile [38]
I'm assuming that this is the complete question.
If f(x) = 3 – 2x and g(x)=1/(x+5), what is the value of (f/g)(8)? a) –169       b) –1      c) 13     d) 104
x = 8
f(x) = 3 -2xf(8) = 3 - 2(8) = 3 - 16 = -13
g(x) = 1/(x+5)g(8) = 1/(8+5) = 1/13
(f/g)(8)f(8)/g(8) = -13/ (1/13) = -13 * 13 = -169  Choice A :)

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

4 servings

Step-by-step explanation:

Yogurt in the container = 1 5/8 pounds

A serving = 3/8 pounds

how many servings of yogurt are in the container?

Servings in the yogurt container = total yogurt in the container / yogurt per servings

Caleb has 20 more books than Danica. If Caleb gives Danica half of his books, Danica will have 4 more books than Caleb. How many
wariber [46]

Answer:

Option E: 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Caleb (C) has 20 more books than Danica (D), we have:

C = 20 + D   (1)

Now, when Caleb gives Danica half of his books:

C' = C - \frac{C}{2}   (2)

Danica will have 4 more books than Caleb, so:

D' = D + \frac{C}{2}     (3)    

Also we have that:

D' = C' + 4   (4)  

By entering equation (2) and equation (3) into equation (4) we have:

D + \frac{C}{2} = C - \frac{C}{2} + 4   (5)

From (1) we have:

D = C - 20   (6)

By entering (6) into (5):

C - 20 + \frac{C}{2} = C - \frac{C}{2} + 4

C = 24

And, from (6):

D = C - 20 = 24 - 20 = 4  

Therefore, the correct option is E, Caleb had to start with 24 books.

I hope it helps you!
