To solve this problem, or one of sorts, you can multiply the current price (2.16) by 1.33 (the percentage as a decimal).
2.16*1.33 = 2.8728
Round to two decimal places (and that’s the number of decimal places for money), and you can expect the new price per pound of cherries to be about $2.87.
if,
p/x=x/q
then cross-multiplying gives <span>x^2=pq</span>
<span>x^2=pq</span>. Taking the square root of both sides, we get <span>x=√pq</span> as the geometric mean of p and q.
Hence in the given question the product of p and q is 8.
so,
x=√8
x=2√2
The answer is 9 sorry if this is wrong
