Answer 20

The population in the Northeast was 53,594,378 people in 2000 and 55,317,240 people in 2010. By about what percent did the population change? Did the population grow or shrink?

Answer 21

how would i solve that?

Answer 22

let the population in 2000 be x and in 2010 be y.
x=53,594,378 and y=55,317,240
here x>y. so population decreases.
the amount of shrink is=[(x-y)/x]*100%
please do it.

Answer 23

so subtract x from y?

Answer 24

sorry,
I have missed.
y>x. and the amount will be [(y-x)/x]*100%

Answer 25

so y subtract x

Answer 26

yes

Answer 27

1722862?

Answer 28

sorry for no commas

Answer 29

yes

Answer 30

thats the answer?

Answer 31

this is increment. the result is
=[(y-x)/x]*100%

Answer 32

i dont understand?

Answer 33

you want me to divide that by x?

Answer 34

yes devide it by x. then multiply with 100. the result will come

Answer 35

wait give me the layout like on how to do it?

Answer 36

please

Answer 37

1722862*100/x is the answer

Answer 38

17,228,62/53,594,378 x 100?

Can you give me an answer to one thing i need it to pass algebra by midnight

Answer 53

A compact car will drive three miles east, five miles west, and then 13 miles east again. The car
gets 40 miles per gallon, and there is
1
4 of a gallon of gas left in the tank. Compute the relative
distance and the total distance. Then decide if there is enough fuel for the trip.

Answer 54

oh my god you're my savior

Answer 55

2730% is wrong.
do as 100(y-x)/x

Answer 56

its ok i already turned it in

Answer 57

with x=281.4 million and y=308.7 million

Answer 58

but can you help me with this man if i dont turn it in before midnight im going to fail algebra i do online school so its different

Answer 59

A compact car will drive three miles east, five miles west, and then 13 miles east again. The car
gets 40 miles per gallon, and there is
1
4 of a gallon of gas left in the tank. Compute the relative
distance and the total distance. Then decide if there is enough fuel for the trip.

Answer 60

i do not understand
1
4 of a gallon
means what?

Answer 61

the rough diagram is, if - represents 1 mile and right side is east
--- towards east
----- towards west
------------- towards east
so total is 3+5+13 miles.
relative for 3 mile east and 5 mile west is= 3-5 east=-2 east
then relative is (13)+(-2)=11 east

Answer 62

1/4

Answer 63

so is that the answer? i dont understand?

Answer 64

I really appreciate the help it means alot

Answer 65

i have given only total distance and relative distance.
the car travels only total distance.
1 gallon can cover 40 mile.
1/4 gallon can cover 10 mile.
so 1/4 gallon is present in the car at final position.
so the if it wants to come back directly initial position it has to cover relative distance i.e. 11 mile.
but it has the fuel for 10 mile.
so if you understand it, say the trip is possible or not

Answer 66

its not possible

Answer 67

am i right?

Answer 68

Here is another one

Answer 69

A van will drive ten miles north, 15 miles south, and then five miles north again. The van gets 33 miles per gallon, and there is one gallon of gas left in the tank. Compute the relative distance and the total distance. Then decide if there is enough fuel for the trip.

Answer 70

the total is just add i.e. 10+15+5 miles.
the relative is considering direction 10north+15south+5north
=10north-15north+5north
now decide if the trip is possible or not seeing relative distance only.
your previous understanding was right.

Answer 71

It is possible

Answer 72

am i right?

Answer 73

yes

Answer 74

Thank you yes just one more will you help me one last time?:)

Answer 75

Last one

Answer 76

A sedan will drive ten miles north, 15 miles east, 13 miles south, 15 miles west, and 22 miles north. The sedan gets 20 miles per gallon, and there are five gallons of gas left in the tank. Compute the relative distance and the total distance. Then decide if there is enough fuel for the trip.

Answer 77

total distance=10+15+13+15+22 miles
relative=10north+15east+13south+15west+22north
=10north+15east-13north-15east+22north
=19north
1 gallon cover 20 miles.
5 gallon cover 5*20=100 miles.
now you say.

Answer 78

Yes its possible?

Answer 79

right

Answer 80

Im so thankful you helped me is there a way i can repay you or anything?

Answer 81

Answer 82

lol what do you like to do?

Answer 83

ahh i need help with this

Answer 84

14.3% increased means increased number is

(14.3/100 )*2000

So population in 2010 is 2000+(14.3/100 )*2000

Solve it.
