First, work out the difference(increase) between the two numbers you are comparing. So, the difference would be 100-80, which will equal 20.

Then, divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. So, that would be 20÷100, which would be 0.2, then it would be 0.2⋅100, so back to 20.

The percent of increase should be 20.

Answer:

$\frac{15}{20} x-2=\frac{8}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3}{4} x-2=\frac{2}{5}$

3/4 and 2/5 have a common denominator which is twenty so you can rewrite the equation with just knowing that

$\frac{3}{4} =\frac{15}{20}$

$\frac{2}{5} =\frac{8}{20}$

$\frac{15}{20} x-2=\frac{8}{20}$

You can then multiply both sides by twenty to solve this equation.

Hope this helps.
