Answer:
You didn't include any image here, but numerically, the amount of paper consumed this month is 125% compared to last month.
If last month's consumption is represented by 4 equal shapes, then the current month's consumption will be 5 shapes.
If last month's consumption is represented by 8 equal shapes, then the current month's consumption will be 10 shapes.
this pattern keeps repeating.
Answer:
We are given that 4 lb of candies are bought for $9.00
Therefore, the price of 1 lb of candies is:

Now the amount of candies that can bought for $12.00 is:
lb
Therefore, 5.3333 lb of candies can be bought for $12.00
15% of 45.4=6.81 this is the final answer
(n*3)+6-(n*2)=n+3
3n+6-2n=n+3
3n-2n-n=3-6 every n on the left and free numbers on the right
0=-3
contradiction, there are no solution
