Answer:

$\frac{8}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we require 2 equations with the repeating digits placed after the decimal point.

let x = 0.888.. (1) ← multiply both sides by 10

10x = 8.888.. (2)

subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the repeating digits

9x = 8 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = $\frac{8}{9}$

Amber got a raise, and her hourly wage increased from $8 to $9.50 what is the percent increase

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The percent increase is 18.75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amber got a raise, and her hourly wage increased from $8 to $9.50.

Now, to find percent increase.

Previous wage = $8.

Wage raised = $9.50.

So, to get the increased wage we subtract the previous wage from the wage raised:

$\$9.50-\$8=\$1.50.$

Now, to get the percent increase:

$\frac{1.50}{8} \times 100$

$=\frac{150}{8}$

$=18.75\%.$

Therefore, the percent increase is 18.75%.

Can somebody tell me how to solve these kind of problems?

Ugo [173]

Answer: 918km^2

Step-by-step explanation:

$area(a): 1700km^2\\percentage(p): 5.75 = \frac{5.75}{100}=0.0575\\years(y): 8$

Let x be the new dimension of the area;

$x=a-(a*p*y)$

$x=(1700km^2)-(1700km^2*0.0575*8)\\x=1700km^2-782km^2\\x=918km^2$
