The following chart shows a store? s records of coat sales over two years. 2 circle graphs. a circle graph titled 2006. top coats is 297, parkas is 210, jackets is 213, raincoats is 137, trench coats is 103. a circle graph titled 2007. topcoats is 223, parkas is 210, jackets is 285, raincoats is 259, trench coats is 127. if the trend shown in these graphs stays constant, what percent of the market will parkas occupy in 2008? (round your answer to the nearest tenth.) a. 16.5% b. 19.0% c. 21.9% d. 35.7%

answer is a

The correct answer is A. 16.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly and to calculate the trend:

                   2006      2007  Trend

Top Coats    297        223       -24.92%

Parkas          210        210         + 0%  

Jackets         213        285        +33.80%

Raincoats      137        259        +89.05

Trench coats 103       127         +23.30%

Total               960     1,104        +15%

2. If the trend shown in these graphs stays constant, what percent of the market will parkas occupy in 2008?

Let's calculate the percent of the market occupied by parkas.

In 2006 = 210/960 = 21.88%

In 2007 = 210/1,104 = 19.02%

In 2008 = 210/1,270 = 16.54% (210 + 0 = 210; 1,104 + 15% = 1,270)

The correct answer is A. 16.5%

this linear equation would have just one solution.

step-by-step explanation:

the reason why this would have one solution is that it is an expression with just one variable. since that variable is not raised to a power, it will always have just one solution.

yes

step-by-step explanation:

they have to be opposite and reciprocal of eachother.
