Answer:

The correct anser is option

B. 2x + 2 = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hot dogs eaten by the runner up be represented by x

If Dave ate 2 more than twice x, this means that the number eaten by him = 2x + 2

Since the total number of hot dogs eaten by Dave is 18

Therefore, the equation will be

2x + 2 = 18

So the number of hot dogs eaten by the runner-up is determined by solving for x

2x= 18-2

2× = 16

x = 16/2

x = 8

The runner up are 8

While Dave are

2×8 + 2 = 18.

Answer:

When solved for x, the runner-up ate 2x + 2 = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Dave won by eating 18 hot dogs

He ate two more than twice the amount of the runner-up.

Suppose the runner-up ate x-hot dogs.

That means Dave ate two more than twice of x. This can be written as

Twice of x is 2x

And two more than twice of x is 2x + 2.

So, Dave ate (2x + 2) hot dogs.

Since we already know that Dave ate 18, we can say

2x + 2 = 18

2x = 16

x = 8

A number is increased by 50% and then another 25%. By how much is it increased in total?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

87.5 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

when you have to increase a number by 50 percent you are multiplying it by 1.5

later when you increase the number by 25 percent you multiply it by 1.25

you can multiply 1.5 by 1.25 to get your answer

1.5 * 1.25 is 1.875

so the percent increase is 87.5 percent
