8. Fred's dog has been putting on weight and the veterinarian is concerned. At the dog's most recent veterinarian appointment in September the dog weighed 45 pounds. This was a 25% increase since the dog's last veterinarian appointment that was in March. How much did Fred's dog weigh at the veterinarian appointment in March?

Fred's dog weighed 33.75 pounds at the appointment in March

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to convert 25% to a decimal by moving the percent sign twice to the left and you will get 0.25.

Then you multiply 45 by 0.25 to find 25% of 45.

45 x 0.25= 11.25

After multiplying, you just have to subtract the product (11.25) by 45.

45 - 11.25 = 33.75

This is the same was doing 45-25%

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is
