Answer:
The answer is 96%
Step-by-step solution:
I just took the test and the way my test is set up, it doesn't show you the answer, you just have the ability to do it again and again with no limit. I saw that most people got all the other questions right but the salon one. And I did too before but after doing it over and over again I finally understood. So the question is Customer Retention = (# Customers at End of time Period less New Customers)/Customers at beginning of time Period
Multiply the result by 100 to convert to percentage
So pretty much what the question is saying is to subtract the numbers at End of time Period by the new costumers then divide that by the costumers at beginning of time Period then multiply the solution by 100 for the percentage. Most people probably dismissed the word less but it's indeed important and it would've been simpler if they just put a subtract sign but hey we got the answer anyway.
Step-by-step explanation:
directrix = (1, -1)
focus = (-3, 2)
vertex = (-3, 3)
General Idea:
(i) Assign variable for the unknown that we need to find
(ii) Sketch a diagram to help us visualize the problem
(iii) Write the mathematical equation representing the description given.
(iv) Solve the equation by substitution method. Solving means finding the values of the variables which will make both the equation TRUE
Applying the concept:
Given: x represents the length of the pen and y represents the area of the doghouse
<u>Statement 1: </u>"The pen is 3 feet wider than it is long"
------
<u>Statement 2: "He also built a doghouse to put in the pen which has a perimeter that is equal to the area of its base"</u>
------
<u>Statement 3: "After putting the doghouse in the pen, he calculates that the dog will have 178 square feet of space to run around inside the pen."</u>
------
<u>Statement 4: "The perimeter of the pen is 3 times greater than the perimeter of the doghouse."</u>
Conclusion:
The systems of equations that can be used to determine the length and width of the pen and the area of the doghouse is given in Option B.
