Answer:

Percentage Increase = 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage increase, we will use the formula below;

Percentage Increase = \frac{Increase}{Initial cost}  ×   100%

From the question given,  the initial cost = $ 135

Now, we need to find the increase;

Increase = $216 - $135 = $81

We can now proceed to insert the values and then simplify;

Percentage Increase = \frac{Increase}{Initial cost}  ×   100%

                                    =\frac{81}{135}  ×   100%

                                        =\frac{8100}{135} %

                                        =60%

Percentage Increase = 60%

Answer:

60% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

Work out the difference increase between the two numbers you are comparing.Then you increase the new number by the original number. Next you divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. Finally divide the increase number and the original number then multiply by 100. That will give you your answer.

Answer:

Solutions: x = \frac{-3}{ 4} + i \sqrt{39},  x = \frac{-3}{4} - i \sqrt{39}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic equation, 2x² + 3x + 6 = 0, where a =2, b = 3, and c = 6:

Use the <u>quadratic equation</u> and substitute the values for a, b, and c to solve for the solutions:

x = \frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac} }{2a}

x = \frac{-3 +/- \sqrt{3^{2} - 4(2)(6)} }{2(2)}

x = \frac{-3 +/- \sqrt{9- 48} }{4}

x = \frac{-3 +/- \sqrt{-39} }{4}

x = \frac{-3 + i \sqrt{39} }{4}, x = \frac{-3 - i \sqrt{39} }{4}

Therefore, the solutions to the given quadratic equation are:

x = -\frac{3}{ 4} + i \sqrt{39} ,   x = -\frac{3}{4} - i \sqrt{39}

Answer:  Perimeter = 66 cm and area =66\ m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of rectangle is given by :-

P=2(l+w), where l is length and w is width of the rectangle.

Given : A rectangle has a length of 5.50 m and a width of 12.0 m .

Then, the perimeter of rectangle :

P=2(12+5.50)\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=2(17.50)=35\ m

Also, area of rectangle is given by :-

A=l\times w=5.50\times12=66 \ m^2

Area of rectangle = 66\ m^2
