Remember you said the scale shows you 10% heavier.
So that's an increase of 10%
So value = 10% + 100% = 110%
So scale would show 110% of 82
110% of 82
= (110/100) * 82
= 1.1 * 82
= 90.2
OR
We can simply find 10% of 82 and add it to the original 82.
10% of 82
(10/100) * 82
0.1 * 82 = 8.2
8.2 + 82 = 90.2 Same answer as before.
So scale shows 90.2 kg.
The answer is correct but i do not know what ARLENE did wrong
9x^3 - 8x^2 is the answer. to solve this you must distribute the sign across each parenthetical and then add the like terms (all cubed x variables added to cubed variables and all squared x variables added to squared variable)
Answer:
50 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount of cheese required by the recipe be "x"
Ann increased 60% from original amount and then used up 80 grams. Thus:
<em>Original, increased by 60%, became 80</em>
<em />
This translated to algebraic equation would be:
x + 0.6x = 80
<u>Note:</u> 60% = 60/100 = 0.6
So we can solve the above equation for "x" and get our answer. Shown below:

Hence,
the recipe required 50 grams of cheese
