E - 30. From 6 to 9 is increase of 1.5times
Given:
28/36 ratio
annual income: 86,250
28+36 = 64
28/64 * 86,250 = 0.4375 * 86,250 = 37,734.375
36/64 * 86,250 = 0.5625 * 86,250 = 48,515.625
28/36 ⇒ 37,734.375/48,515.625

Model the scenario
The model of this scenario is:
This gives:
<em /><em> -- This represents the multiplication model</em>
Divide both sides by 18
Reorder
<em /><em> -- This represents the division model</em>
Let x = the number.
"increased by" tells you we are adding.
"twice a number" tells you 2 times a number.
16 + 2x = - 24
Subtract 16 from both sides so that we have the variable on one sides and the constants on the other.
2x = - 24 - 16
2x = - 40
Divide by 2 to isolate the variable.
x = - 40/2 = - 20
Your solution is - 20.
To check your answer, plug in.
16 + 2(-20) = - 24
16 - 40 = - 24
- 24 = - 24
