Percent increase = (new number - original number) / original number...* 100
= (2075 - 1195) / (1195)...* 100
= (880 / 1195) * 100
= 0.736 * 100
= 73.6 rounds to 74% <==
Answer:
x < - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
5x + 8 < 3(x + 2) ← distribute
5x + 8 < 3x + 6 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
2x + 8 < 6 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
2x < - 2 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x < - 1
Answer:
Thus the number of books at $2 is 9 books.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of the book purchased = 15 books
Total amount spend to buy the books = $34
The prices of books are $2 and $3.
Let the number of books purchased at price $2 = x
Let the number of books purchased at price $3 = y
Now we have to find the number of books that is bought at $2.
Below are the equations.
x + y = 15
2x + 3y = 34
Now solve for the x,
x + y = 15
y = 15 – x
Now insert it in the 2x + 3y = 34
2x + 3(15-x) = 34
2x + 45 – 3x = 34
-x = 34 – 45
x = 9
Thus the number of books at $2 is 9 books.
