The Smiths spend 6% of their budget on entertainment. Their total budget this year is $2,000 more than last year, and this year they plan to spend $2,760 on entertainment. What was their total budget last year? Their total budget last year was?

Their total budget last year was $44,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Smiths spend 6% of their budget on entertainment.

Total budget this year = $ 2000 more than last year.

Let x = Budget for this year.

Money on entertainment = 0.06x = 2760

⇒ Budget for this year = $ 46,000

Budget for last year = $ 46,000 - $2,000 = $44,000

Hence, their total budget last year was $44,000.

d.) yes, because the volume of the cone is greater than the volume of the sphere

step-by-step explanation:

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
