To reverse a percentage decrease you divide it by the decrease (+ 100%)
For example we will pick the number, 100, which is decreased by 15% to 85.
To make 85 back to 100 we divide it by the decrease (1-0.15):
85 / 0.85 = 100
To find out how much 85 increased to get back to 100, we do:
15 / 85 = 0.1765 = %17.65
15 is the reduction/difference, and 85 is the with reduction total.
Because percentages stay the same, this is applicable to any numbers, from this, we know that whenever something is reduced by 15% - when restored to it's original is increased by %17.65
The answer is %17.65
Answer:
15 + 2.05 x = 2.35 x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of gallons you would have to buy for the two places to be the same.
At the club, there is a monthly fee of $15 that is charged once in a month. They also charge $2.05 per gallon, which is charged every gallon of gas you buy.
We can write an expression: 15 + 2.05 x
At the gas station, they charge $2.35 per gallon with no other fees.
We can also write an expression: 2.35 x
For the prices to be the same, we have 15 + 2.05 x = 2.35 x
If we were to solve, then we have:
(2.35 - 2.05) x = 15
x = 15 / 0.3 = 50 gallons
