(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.

Why do you think that Warren Brown includes the fact that Colin Powell moved from Harlem to the Bronx when he was three years ol
alexira [117]

Answer with Explanation:

1. Why do you think that Warren Brown includes the fact that Colin Powell moved from Harlem to the Bronx when he was three years old?

Warren Brown included the fact that Colin Powell moved from Harlem to the Bronx in order to show that <u>he was brought up in a black community until he was three years old.</u> It also shows how he grew up in a better-living area compared to that of the Harlem. The Bronx contained many immigrants and it this is where Colin was raised. This allowed Colin to mingle with different nationals and <u><em>not mind the color of his skin.</em></u>

2. What does this suggest about his parents?

This suggested that his parents<em> (Luther and Maud)</em> were concerned about rearing their children in a nicer community rather than the Harlem. They wanted Colin and Marylin to grow up with "confidence" and "discipline." They wanted the best for their children.
