Find each percent increase. Round to the nearest percent

1. 15 to 21 = 21 - 15 / 15 = 0.4*100% = 40%

2. 12 teachers to 48 teachers = 48 - 12/48 = 0.75 * 100% = 75%

3. 80 pencil to 120 pencil = 120 - 80 / 80 = 0.5*100% = 50%

4. 40 cans to 70 cans = 70 - 40 / 70 = 0.43 * 100% = 43%

secant-secant formula:

(whole secant) x (external part) =           (whole secant) x (external part)

(8+y-2) *8=                                           (y+4+6) *6

(y+6)*8 = (y+10) *6

distribute

8y+48 = 6y +60

subtract 6y from each side

2y +48 = 60

subtract 48 from each side

2y = 12

divide by 2

y = 6

sv =     (y+4+6)

sv   = 6+4+6

sv = 16

measurement of the swimming pool is given as = 7 yards 4.79 feet

first we will convert this to yards only.

1 foot = 0.33 yards

so, 4.79 feet = yards

so total yards are = yards

now we will convert this in meters.

1 yard = 0.914 meters

8.580 yards = meters

0.842 m = 0.842*100 = 84.2 cm

this becomes 7 meters and 84.2 cm

hence, the pool is 7 meters and 84.2 cm wide.
