Hello! So to solve this question, we can write and solve a proportion. We write the proportion as change/original = x/100, where change is the distance between two number and the original is the previous number. Percents are parts of 100, so x is a percentage out of 100%. 1,435 - 1,220 is 215. Now, set it up like this.

215/1,435 = x/100

Cross multiply the values to get 21,500 = 1,435x. Divide each side by 1,435 to isolate the "x". 21,500/1,435 is 14.9825783972 or 15 when rounded to the nearest whole number. The percent change in the number of 8th graders is about 15%.

NeTakaya

Based on the way these stations are connected, we can infer that there are <u>56 tubes. </u>

<h3>Number of tubes in Spaceland </h3>

Each pair of stations have 2 tubes. This means that every station is connected to each of the others.

We can therefore infer that each station has 7 tubes to the other stations.

The total number of tubes would therefore be:

= Number of stations x Number of tubes per station

= 8 x 7

= 56 tubes

In conclusion, there are 56 tubes.

Answer:

2 * (x + 2) = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the unknown number x. "A number and 2" means that we need to add the numbers, therefore it would be x + 2. "Twice" means 2 times a quantity so "twice a number and 2" would be 2 * (x + 2). "Is" denotes that we need to use the "=" sign and because 50 comes after "is", we know that 50 goes on the right side of the "=" so the final answer is 2 * (x + 2) = 50.
