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.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

7/8y + 1/2 = 1 1/5

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>

  1. Convert to improper fraction:                                                                          7/8y + 1/2 = 6/5
  2. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 1/2 on both sides:                       7/8y = 7/10
  3. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 7/8 on both sides:                              y = 4/5

How could you use coordinate geometry to prove that segment BD and segment AC bisect one another?
____ [38]

Answer:

I think it's prove the midpoints are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not completely sure but I'm taking it right now and I believe that's the most logical answer because if they meet up at the same midpoint then they could bisect each other.
