1650 - 1200 = 450
What percent is 450 of 1200?
y = 450/1200
y = 0.375
37.5% increase
A number 4 times as much as 25 is 100
Explanation
Problem #2
We must find the solution to the following system of inequalities:
(1) We solve for y the first inequality:
Now, we multiply both sides of the inequality by (-1), this changes the signs on both sides and inverts the inequality symbol:
The solution to this inequality is the set of all the points (x, y) over the line:
This line has:
• slope m = 3/2,
,
• y-intercept b = -2.
(2) We solve for y the second inequality:
The solution to this inequality is the set of all the points (x, y) below the line:
This line has:
• slope m = -1/3,
,
• y-intercept b = 2.
(3) Plotting the lines of points (1) and (2), and painting the region:
• over the line from point (1),
,
• and below the line from point (2),
we get the following graph:
Answer
The points that satisfy both inequalities are given by the intersection of the blue and red regions:
((b1+b2)÷2)(h)=A
so I think the answer is 3 1/16 or 3.0625
