It was reported in your department meeting that over the past year your hospital decreased the number of employees by four percent. Last year there were 389 people employed; how many are employed this year? Round to a whole number.

Number of people employed this year = 373

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of employees this year = x

These employees were decreased by 4% then the remaining number of employees this year = x - (4% of x)

= x - 0.04x

= 0.96x

If last year number of people employed were 389 then the number of people employed this year = 0.96×389

= 373.44

When rounded to whole number, number of people employed this year = 373.

step-by-step explanation:

∆abc has the points a(1, 7), b(-2, 2), and c(4, 2) as its vertices. formed with the point d(1, 2) as its third vertex, then ∆abd is triangle.
