The smallest of the four numbers is x.
Since the four numbers are consecutive, this means that each number is one more than the previous.
Therefore, the four numbers are:
x
x + 1
x+1 + 1 = x+2
x+2 + 1 = x+3
Now, we are given that the sum (s) of the four numbers is 2174
This means that:
s = x+x+1+x+2+x+3
s = 4x + 6
We are given that s = 2174. Substitute with s in the above equation and solve for x as follows:
2174 = 4x + 6
4x = 2174 - 6
4x = 2168
x = 2168 / 4
x = 542
Based on the above calculations, the four numbers are:
542, 543, 544 and 555
Answer: Approximately 18.33%
Work Shown:
11/60 = 0.1833 approximately
This decimal converts to 18.33% when moving the decimal point over to the right two spots. Round this value however you need to.
The distance formula is d = (x^2 + y^2)^(1/2) This is the same equation used for both. In other words, the equation of a circle gives the radius of the circle in terms of x and y, while the distance formula gives the distance from the origin to the final point in terms of x a
Let's say that B makes $100.
Then A makes $75.
So, your question then becomes 100 is what percent of 75?
This can be solved by setting up the proportion 100 / 75 = x / 100
75x = 10000
x = 133.3
So, B's income is 33.3% more than A's income.
