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.

He rain caused the river to ride a total of 6 2/3 inches. The river was rising at an average of 2/3 of an inch each hour. How ma

Kobotan [32]

To find out how many hours it rained, divide the total rise in the river by the amount it rose every hour.

$\sf 6\dfrac{2}{3}\div\dfrac{2}{3}$

First convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. We do this by multiplying the denominator to the whole number, adding it to the numerator, which becomes our new numerator, and we keep the denominator the same:

$\sf\dfrac{20}{3}\div\dfrac{2}{3}$

When dividing fractions we flip(the reciprocal) the one we're dividing by and multiply:

$\sf\dfrac{20}{3}\times\dfrac{3}{2}$

Multiply the numerators and denominators together:

$\sf\dfrac{60}{6}$

Simplify by dividing:

$\boxed{\sf 10}$

So it rained for 10 hours.
