Answer:

The expression 1.016x does not represent a percent increase greater than 12%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find whether the expression 1.016x represent a percent increase greater than 12% if the original amount is x.

First of all, we will find 12% increase. The total amount after x% increase would be original amount plus 12% of original amount.

\text{12 percent increase}=x+\frac{12}{100}x

\text{12 percent increase}=x+0.12x    

\text{12 percent increase}=1.12x

Since 1.12 is greater than 1.016, therefore, the expression 1.016x does not represent a percent increase greater than 12%.

We can rewrite 1.016x as:

1.016x=1x+0.016x=x+0.016x

Let us convert 0.016 to percent by multiplying by 100.

0.016\times 100\%=1.6\%

Since 1.6% is less than 12%, therefore, the expression 1.016x does not represent a percent increase greater than 12%.

Two complementary angles are in the ratio of 1:5. find the measure of the larger angle?
Luden [163]
First you set up an equation using a variable:
x + 5x = 90° (complementary angles = 90°)
6x = 90
x = 15 (also the measure of the smaller angle)

now plug in x to find the larger angle:
5(15) = 75°

During batting practice 12 balls were pitched to each player if 9 player came to practice how many balls were pitched
svetoff [14.1K]
Hello,

If 12 balls were pitched to each of the 9 players at practice, then
12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 balls were pitched total.

This is also equal to (12)(9) = 108 balls.

108 balls were pitched during practice.

Hope this helps!
