Answer:
2%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the first number
It increases by 70 %
The new number is
m = x+ .70x
= 1.7x
Let y be the second number
It decreases by 40 %
The new number is
n =y - .40 y
= .6y
The product of the original numbers is xy
The product of the new number is
mn = (1.7x * .6y) = 1.02xy
The new number is larger than the old number so it is an increase.
Percent increase is new - original divided by original times 100%
Percent increase = (1.02 xy - xy)
----------------- * 100%
xy
= .02 xy
------- * 100 %
xy
= .02 * 100 %
= 2%
72 + 12 = 84 stickers
ignore “she put 9 stickers on each page” because the question asked how many stickers she had total not how many on each page
Answer:
x= -1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can combine like terms on each side:
-4-18x=3x+3
Then, we move all of the variables onto one side and the constant onto the other:
-18x-3x=3+4
-21x=7
x=-7/21
x= -1/3
Hope this helps!
