Mr. mendez had 24 cows on his farm. at an auction, he bought 5 more cows. find the percent of change in the number of cows on the farm. round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

As per the statement:

Mr. Mendez had 24 cows on his farm.

⇒He had number of cows on his farm = 24 cows.

At an auction, he bought 5 more cows

Change in number of cows = 5

We have to find the percent of change in the number of cows on the farm.

Simplify:

Therefore, the percent of change in the number of cows on the farm (to the nearest tenth) is 20.8%

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
