Question

the value of a certain piece of art is projected to increase 139 percent in 3 years the piece of art is currently valued at 1250 dollars with equation can be used to find the projected value of the piece of art in 3 years

Answer 1

So 100% of $1250 is $1250.  Taking that into factor, we simply need to double it and then add another 39% to that number.  So from doubling we get $2500.  To find the 39% cross multiply and divide and you should get $487.50.  Add the two number to get an answer of $2987.50
1250×39 = 48750
48750÷100 = 487.5
$2500 + $487.5 = $2987.50
