The number of traffic violations in a city increased from 12 to 16 in a month. What is the percent of increase in the number of traffic violations for that month? Round to the nearest percent, if necessary. A. 20% B. 25% C. 33% D. 75%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah free meda for answer :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so (first number-second number)divided by First number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16 - 12 = 4 violations more 4 is aprox 33% of 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(12-16)\div12\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i sent u it in private messages

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see it, This one is actually really easy because all the other decrease are much to big but you might need to show work so,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(280-182)/280\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you look at the percent changes all of them are too big except 35%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because 50% of 280 is 140, and the cost of the suit was still 182$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is what it would be, some of these are so simple there is no need in doing any formulas or anything.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because a 54% increase would be even less than 140 which is more than 40 dollars less than what it actually costs on sale.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the only possible one is a 35% decrease :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hope I helped :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup you did lol
