Here are two slightly different ways to look at it. 
Both ways do exactly the same thing.

<u>Way #1:</u>
Divide  (the new number) by (the old number)

 349 / 320 = 1.090625

Change the quotient  1.090625  to percent.

To change any number into percent, multiply it by 100, or move the decimal point  2 places to the right.

   1.090625  ==>  109.06 %

The new number  (349)  is  109.06%  of the old number  (320).

But the old number was  100%  of itself.  So the new number
is  <em>9.06%  more</em> than the old number was.
================================

<u>Way #2:</u>
How much bigger is the new number ?

       (349 - 320) = 29 bigger

Divide the increase by the old number:

       29 / 320 = 0.090625

Change the quotient to a percent.

     0.090625 = 9.06%

The <em>increase</em> is<em>  9.06%</em>  of the old number.

William and Debra Pierce are celebrating their 20th anniversary by having a reception at a local reception hall. They have budge
erica [24]

The greatest number of people that William and Debra may invite and still stay within their budget is 63.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Since William and Debra have budgeted $2,500 for their reception. Therefore, their total expenses should be equal to the total expenses in the reception.

Budget = Total expenses

Budget = Reception hall Cleanup charge + $38 per person fee

Let the number of people invited to the party be represented by x,

$2,500 = $100 + $38(x)

2500 = 100 + 38x

2500 - 100 = 38x

2400 = 38x

x = 2400 / 38

x = 63.157 ≈ 63

Hence, the greatest number of people that William and Debra may invite and still stay within their budget is 63.

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of a sphere-shaped balloon increases at a rate of 2 centimeters (cm) per second.

surface area of the completely inflated balloon is 784 cm²

SA=4r²

784= 4r²

784/4= r²

196 = r²

14cm = r

Yhe radius of the complete inflated balloon is 14cm

If the ball inflate at the rate of 2 cm per seconds

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Therefore, Melissa will be charged $72 for busing work ATM 24 times in a month

Step-by-step explanation:

Melissa was charged $3 each time she used the ATM at work

She used the work ATM 24 times in a month.

Charge per usage= $3

Number of times of usage= 24

By how much did her bank account change from using the ATM at work

Total charges = charge per usage × Number of times of usage

= 3 × 24

= 72

Total charges = $72

Therefore, Melissa will be charged $72 for busing work ATM 24 times in a month
