To find the increase from 1997 to 1998, you could substitute in numbers and then determine the percent increase based on those numbers.

Ex: 500 to 1000 (96-97)
      1000 to 2000 (97-98)
Percent increase is (2000-1000)/1000 or 100% increase.

Testing another set of numbers will result in the same thing.

Ex: 200 to 400 (96-97)
      400 to 800 (97-98)
Percent increase is (800-400)400 or 100% increase.

The percent increase is 100%.

Answer:

The number of students increase from 1997 to 1998 by 100 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of students in the year 1996.

According to the question,

The number of students on 1997 = 2x

Also, the number of students on 1998 = 4x

Thus, the percentage increase in the number of students from 1997 to 1998

=\frac{\text{the number of students on 1998-the number of students on 1997}}{\text{the number of students on 1997}}\times 100

=\frac{4x-2x}{2x}\times 100

=\frac{2x}{2x}\times 100

=100\%

Three more than 8 times a number is 29. Find the number.
yanalaym [24]
Well, first off, to solve for this, we can write the expression and then solve from there.
Expression: 8x + 3 = 29
So, now that we have our expression, we can solve for our missing number using the balancing method.
8x + 3 = 29
8x + 3 - 3 = 29 - 3 (we subtracted the three because we needed to get rid of the three on the left side of the equation do now we are just left with 8x = 26.
8x = 26
8x/8 = 26/8. (So, the 8 on the left side cancels out and we are just left with X.
X = 26/8
X = 13/4
X = 3 and 1/4
So, in conclusion, the answer to this question is: X = 3 and 1/4 as a mixed number or 13/4 as an improper fraction.
Glad I could help!
