<h3>Answer: Net Increase of 26%</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
If it increases by 5%, then we use the multiplier 1.05
Think of it like saying 100% + 5% = 1 + 0.05 = 1.05
Similarly, an increase of 20% means we involve 1.20
Combine those multipliers to get: 1.05*1.20 = 1.26
This is a net increase of 26%
Interestingly, we get fairly close to 25% which is what many students might go for (since 5 + 20 = 25). This is a beginner's trap.
----------------
An example:
Let's say the temperature is 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit)
An increase of 5% means it moves to 1.05*20 = 21 degrees C
A 20% increase means we go to 1.20*21 = 25.2 degrees C
The shortcut would be to do a 26% increase to get 1.26*20 = 25.2 to help confirm we have the correct combined increase.

Answer:
- sides: 12 feet
- front: 28 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of one side of the yard. Then the width of the yard is 2x+4, and the perimeter is ...
P = 2(L +W) . . . . . . . . . . formula for perimeter of a rectangle
80 = 2(x + (2x+4)) . . . . . with values from the problem filled in
40 = 3x +4 . . . . . . . . divide by 2, collect terms
36 = 3x . . . . . . . . . subtract 4
12 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 3. This is the length of the side fence.
2x +4 = 2(12) +4 = 28
The fence is 12 feet on the sides and 28 feet on the front. (Its total length is 52 feet.)
Answer:
B. 9 < 10,
C. 10 > 9,
D. 9 (is less than or equal to ) 10
Step-by-step explanation:
A.10 < 9, not true 10 is greater than 9
B. 9 < 10, true 9 is less than 10
C. 10 > 9, true 10 is greater than 9
D. 9 (is less than or equal to ) 10 true 9 is less than or equal to 10
D, while numbers is the answer
