For this case you can solve the problem by applying a simple rule of three in which we have
520 ---> 100%
800 ---> x
Clearing x we have
x = (800/520) * 100 = 154%
the percentage increase in cost was
154-100 = 54%
answer
the percentage increase in cost was 54%
Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y cannot be equal to both -3 and 7, so there is no solution.
<u>Answer:</u>
one solution = 3
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
5x+17=4(3x−1)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
5x+17=4(3x−1)
5x+17=(4)(3x)+(4)(−1)(Distribute)
5x+17=12x+−4
5x+17=12x−4
Step 2: Subtract 12x from both sides.
5x+17−12x=12x−4−12x
−7x+17=−4
Step 3: Subtract 17 from both sides.
−7x+17−17=−4−17
−7x=−21
Step 4: Divide both sides by -7
-7x/-7 = -21/-7 = 3
First, you do the denominator times he whole number
9 x 3 = 27
Second, you add the total you got to the numerator
27 + 4 = 31
Third, Solve!
31/9 will be your answer
