Answer:
100%
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with x.
x = x/1
Increase the numerator by 60% to 1.6x.
Decrease the numerator by 20% to 0.8.
The new fraction is
1.6x/0.8
Do the division.
1.6x/0.8 = 2x
The fraction increased from x to 2x. It became double of what it was. From x to 2x, the increase is x. Since x was the original number x is 100%.
The increase is 100%.
0.93 = 0.9
0.18 = 0.2
0.9 + 0.2 = 1.1
Answer 1.1
Answer:
1. MIGHT be 16 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
causse 2/3 / 4/9 = 1 1/2
1 1/2 + 10= 11 +5 = 16
16+1/2 = 16 1/2
Write two equations with the given information:
1) x = 2y ( x is twice the value of y)
2) x + y = 42
Replace x in the second equation with the value of x in the first equation:
2y + y = 42
Simplify:
3y = 42
Divide both sides by 3:
y = 42 / 3
y = 14
Now we have the value for Y, solve for x by replacing y with 14:
x = 2y
x = 2(14)
x = 28
X = 28 and y = 14
