(x% * 4) + 4 = 4.32

Solve for 'x':

4x + 4 = 4.32

Subtract 4 to both sides:

4x = 0.32

Divide 4 to both sides:

x = 0.08

Multiply by 100:

0.08 * 100 = 8%

An easier way to do this is to find the percent increase.

First, subtract the two numbers.

4.32 - 4.00 = 0.32

Divide this to the original amount:

0.32 / 4.00 = 0.08

Multiply by 100:

0.08 * 100 = 8%

We basically did all the steps from our equation above.

Dear Mother,

You are a special person in my life and everything you do is to protect me or love me. You are with me from the start even when hard, scary, or bad times came across. I give you appreciation from my heart because I know you'll love me as much, or even more, as I love you. You were the only person who understood me.

Sometimes, you'd block me for doing things or take away something, but it is only because I didn't respect you--or just because you're trying to protect me. For example, once you took away my phone, saying it was too much screen time. I later realized you was right. You had to wear glasses earlier in your life, but you don't anymore. This was because you watched too much screen time and your eyes got hurt; but now I understand. I appreciate you and will go along with you every second in your life.

With love,

Your Daughter

In paragraphs 4 and 5, the author compares sea stars with missing limbs to humans with missing limbs to emphasize her point that
kondor19780726 [428]

The author emphasizes the point of view that loss in humans is a difficult burden to overcome and causes intense feelings.

<h3>How does the author compare starfish and humans?</h3>
  • It shows that starfish and humans can lose body parts.
  • It shows that these losses can be brought about by sacrifices.

The author shows that starfish can sacrifice parts of their bodies for the good of the community. This can also happen to human beings, who can lose body parts in heroic situations and even be born without those parts.

However, it shows that starfish regenerate their bodies, while humans cannot and must live with the sense of loss that hits them physically and emotionally.

How does the author create surprise in this myth?
Katen [24]

In<em> Damon and Pythias, </em>the author creates surprise when Dionysius pardons Damon and Pythias.

<em>Damon and Pythias </em><u>symbolizes friendship.</u> In the myth, Pythias is accused of conspiring against Dionysius and condemned to death. In that way, Damon offers himself to be held hostage and also to die in his friend's stead if Pythias does not return. However, when Phythias returns to save Damon's life, <u>Dionysius is so moved by their friendship and their loyalty that he ends up freeing both of them</u>. That is the 'surprise effect' that the author of the myth creates.
