Answer:

219.15% (2DP)

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between 0.94 and 3 is 2.06

Percentage change = (change in value/ original amount) X100.

(2.06/0.94) X 100

Which equals 219.15%

The price of gas has increased by 219.15%

Six times a number increased by 20 is four less than eight times the number. Find the number

DaniilM [7]

Greetings!

"<span>Six times a number increased by 20 is four less than eight times the number. Find the number."...

This would be, as an equation:
</span> $6x+20=8x-4$

Solve:
Add 4 and -6x to both sides.
$(6x+20)+4+(-6x)=(8x-4)+4+(-6x)$
Simplify.
$24=2x$
Divide both sides by 2.
$(24)/2=(2x)/2$
Simplify.
$12=x$
$x=12$
<span>
x=12

Hope this helps.

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The solution of given equation is x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let x be the variable such that

$x \in (-12,12)$

Relation:

The quotient of a number and 4 is negative 1

We can write the equation as:

$\dfrac{x}{4} = -1$

Solution:

$\dfrac{x}{4} = -1\\\\\Rightarrow x = 4\times -1\\\Rightarrow x = -4$

Thus, the solution of given equation is x = -4
