This year, there are 220 farmers raising chickens in the county. This is a 30% increase over last year. How many farmers raised chickens last year?

169 farmers raised chickens last year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of farmers raising chickens this year = 220

This is 30% more than previous year.

Let,

100% be the percent of previous year and x be the number of farmers who raised chicken previous year.

Percent of farmers who raised chickens this year = (100+30)% = 130%

130% of x = 220

1.3x = 220

Dividing both sides by 1.3

Rounding to nearest whole number

x = 169

Hence,

169 farmers raised chickens last year.

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
