Solve the problem.
enrollment in a business seminar increased from 71 people to 83 people. what was the percent increase?
14.5%
85.5%
83.1%
16.9%

16.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the answer by using the following formula:

final people=(initial people)+((initial people)*(percent increase)) which can be written as:

percent increase=((final people)-(initial people))/(initial people) so:

percent increase=(83-71)/71=0.169=16.9%

In conclusion, the percent increase is 16.9%.

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9
