Answer:

2014 salary = 125 of 2013 salary

Therefore if 2013 salary is 100, 2014 salary is 125

x% of 125 = 100

125x/100= 100

x = 100*100/125

x = 80

His previous salary is 80% of his present salary

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Focus on the important parts of the problem:

The present salary is 25% more than the previous salary.

previous = % of present ?

<u>Use a mock/fake situation.</u> Let' say the previous salary is $100.

100 = % of present

Present salary is $100 increased by 25%.

$100 X 1.25 = $125

100 = % of 125

Solve this in decimal form (convert it to a percentage later).

Let x be the percentage in decimal form.

100 = 125x

100/125 = x Isolate "x" by dividing by sides by 125

x = 0.80

Convert 0.80 to percentage by multiplying by 100.

0.80 X 100 = 80%

When comparing two things using percentage, 100% is the same. Less than 100% is less and more than 100% is more.

Since his previous salary was less than his present salary, this answer makes sense.

Therefore his previous salary was 80% of his present salary.

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

$39,223\ rabbits$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a exponential growth function is given by

$y=a(1+r)^x$

where

y is the population of rabbits

x is the number of years since 1991

a is the initial value

r is the rate of change

we have

$a=9,100$

substitute

$y=9,100(1+r)^x$

For the year 1998

the number of years is equal to

x=1998-1991=7 years

we have the ordered pair (7,18,000)

substitute in the exponential equation and solve for r

$18,000=9,100(1+r)^7$

$(18,000/9,100)=(1+r)^7$

elevated both sides to 1/7

$(1+r)=1.1023$

$r=0.1023$

therefore

$y=9,100(1+0.1023)^x$

$y=9,100(1.1023)^x$

Predict the population of rabbits in the year 2006

Find the value of x

x=2006-1991=15 years

substitute the value of x in the equation

$y=9,100(1.1023)^{15}$

$y=39,223\ rabbits$
