The amount of change is different for the percent increase and the percent decrease. B. The ratio of the percent increase is not the same as the percent decrease. C. The ratio for the percent increase has a smaller denominator than the percent decrease. D. The ratio for the percent increase has a different numerator than the percent decrease. E. The original amount for the percent increase is different from the original amount for the percent decrease.

The ratio of the percent increase is not the same as the percent decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

step-by-step explanation:

given that megan owns a clothing boutique.

the profits of 2010, 11, are recorded and shown as follows:

years since     2010 0     1     2     3       4       5

profits made in 1000's   39       84     111     120   111     84

we find that profit gradually increases form 2010 to 2013 upto 120,   then starts decreasing.

the profits for 2012 and 2014 are the same while that of 2011 and 2015 are also the same.

this shows that there is symmetry about the line profit = 120000

hence answer is:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.
