Answer:

Percent increase is 70%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price was $110. That will go on the bottom (denominator) in our calculation. On the top (numerator) we put the change in the dollar amount. The new price is $187. So we'll subtract:

187 - 110

= 77

The change in price was $77.

change/original

= 77/110

= 0.7

Change the decimal answer to a percent by multiplying by 100.

0.7 × 100

= 70%

The percent increase is 70%.

Since the triangle is equilateral (you can tell by the tick on each side), all angles have the same measure as well.

The angles of a triangle sum up to 180 degress, so three equal angles must measure 60 degrees each.

So, in particular, we have

7x + 4 = 60 7x = 56 x = 8

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

30 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Yesterday: 1/3 of the 75 students (75 / 3) = 25 students

There are now 50 students remaining to give their speeches.

Today: 2/5 of the 50 students (50 / 5 = 10 x 2 ) = 20 students

50 - 20 = 30 students remaining to give their speeches.
