Answer: Elaine=13 years old Tyler=21 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Elaine's age, so her brother Tyler's age = x+8
Elaine+Tyler=34
x+(x+8)=34
2x+8=34
2x=26
x=13
Elaine=13 years old
Tyler=21 years old
For this case you can solve the problem by applying a simple rule of three in which we have
520 ---> 100%
800 ---> x
Clearing x we have
x = (800/520) * 100 = 154%
the percentage increase in cost was
154-100 = 54%
answer
the percentage increase in cost was 54%
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation: Cross multiply.
36/90 = x/100
3600/90 = 40
