Last week 24% of the campers at a state park were visiting from out of state. this week an additional 12% are from out of state. if there are 175 campers at the state park this week, how many are visiting from out of state?

Step-by-step explanation:

24 percent plus 12 percent is 36 percent.

If our total is 175 and this week 36 percent of that 175 we have to multiply 175 by 36 percent- which can be represented as 36/100 or 0.36.

175 multiplied by 0.36 is 63 people

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
