(x% * 4) + 4 = 4.32
Solve for 'x':
4x + 4 = 4.32
Subtract 4 to both sides:
4x = 0.32
Divide 4 to both sides:
x = 0.08
Multiply by 100:
0.08 * 100 = 8%
An easier way to do this is to find the percent increase.
First, subtract the two numbers.
4.32 - 4.00 = 0.32
Divide this to the original amount:
0.32 / 4.00 = 0.08
Multiply by 100:
0.08 * 100 = 8%
We basically did all the steps from our equation above.
Dialogue between grandparents and students discussing about junk food.
Dialogue is a conversation or communication between two or more people. When a discussion about a junk food takes place, the dialogue between grandparents and students would be something like this.
Grandparent: We came to know from your parents and teachers that these days you consume a lot of junk foods.
One Student: Yes granny. We do! What’s the harm? Such foods are very delicious after all.
Grandparent: Of course they are. But do you know, such foods are considered very unhealthy.
Another Student: Unhealthy! How can such mouthwatering foods be unhealthy?
Grandparent: Consuming junk food once in a week is not the problem. But consuming too much of such foods everyday can lead to serious health issues.
Another Grandparent: Yes, and the preparation method of such food is also different and not that good and healthy as compared to homemade cooked foods. So we advice you not to eat up junk food. They may taste delicious, but not every mouthwatering foods are tasty and healthy. You got that?
Students: Yessss Granny.
This is a thought-provoking letter written by Kurt Vonnegut opposing the idea of burning books of young children, in view of transforming the system of education in America.
Explanation:
In this letter, Vonnegut starts telling audience/readers the ideas that can have a negative effect, not only on the target person/individual, but also on a wider range because of its effect being new and historic.
Though in view of a change, Vonnegut argues that this act of burning books is not what we all should accept. In Paragraphs 7 and 8, when Vonnegut explains about how people feel it is their right to decide what their children must read, the author explains to them that it is true but doing that in an un-American way - harsh, impractical, ignorant manner can cause a negative impact for them.
In the next point of argument, author talks about how people/nations who didn't read books, didn't let ideas emerge among people fought wars. They created destruction all over world. The author clearly states that people/nations who read books have been a part of development, improvement and liberation.
