Question

2. The water level in a reservoir is now 52 meters. Which equation can be used to find the initial depth, d, if this is the water level after a 23% increase? * O 0.23. d = 52 O d = 52 · 0.23 O 1.23. d = 52 O d = 52. 1.23

Answer 1

Answer:

1.23d = 52

Explanation:

If 52 meters is the water level after a 23% increase, then we can say that the initial depth d added to the 23% of d is equal to 52 meters. So:

d + 23%d = 52 meters

Since 23% is equivalent to 0.23, we get:

d + 0.23d = 52

Finally, adding the like terms, we get:

(1 + 0.23)d = 52

1.23d = 52

So, the equation is:

1.23d = 52
