Subtract the old amount from the new amount: 2.08-1.21=0.87.
Divide the difference by the old amount: .87/1.21=0.719 or .72 or 72% :)

Solve for x in the equation shown below

baherus [9]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: First, Simplify the fraction.

$\frac{4x}{7} =8$

Step 2: Next, Multiply both sides by 7.

4x = 8 × 7

Step 3: Simplify 8 × 7 to 56.

4x = 56

Step 4: Then, Divide both sides by 4.

$x=\frac{56}{7}$

Step 5: Lastly, Simplify the fraction and you're done!

x = 14
