There correct answer is B!
(increase/original) x 100%
(618 / 1 250) x 100%
0.49 x 100%
49%
The percent increase = 49%
X = 2y
2x + 2y = 24
So if x = 2y that means 2x = 4y. Which means that 2x + 2y = 24 can be written as 4y + 2y = 24. Simplified to 6y = 24. Now we need to get 1y so we divide both sides by 6, 6y/6 = y and 24/6 = 4. so y = 4. so x= 2y can be written as x = 8.
