Let's create a variable to represent the size of Ruben's book collection prior to his buying the new books.  

B = number of books in Ruben's collection before buying new ones

So, we know that when he bought 6 books, this increased his collection by 12%.

12% of his book collection would be represented by 0.12B.  Therefore, we know that:

0.12B = 6

Divide both sides by 0.12, to get to B = 50.

However, you are being asked how many books does he have now.  B represents the number of books he had before.  Therefore you want to add back the 6 books he just bought.

The answer is 50 + 6 = 56

The diameter of the circle is 9.7 m . Calculate the length of its circumference. Round to the nearest tenth and remember to use
RSB [31]

Answer:

30.4m

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter(D) = 2r (radius)

D = 9.7m

r = 9.7m / 2

= 4.85m

C = 2πr

= 2π × 4.85m

= 30.47344873982099m

rounding - Leave it as is if the digit in the tenth is 4 or lower

- round it up if it's 5 or higher.

~~ 30.4m
