Suppose there are 28,200,000 small businesses in the economy today. Twenty-five percent of those businesses have no employees. What is the number of businesses in the economy with no employees?

the number of businesses with no employees is 7,050,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of businesses in the economy have no employees is shown below:

Given that

There are a total of 28,200,000

Out of which 25% of those businesses have no employees

So, the number of businesses in the economy is

= 28,200,000 × 25%

= 7,050,000

Hence, the number of businesses with no employees is 7,050,000

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
