The CPI increased from 29.6 to 82.4.
The rate of increase, is:
82.4/29.6 = 2.78
Now multiply this rate to the $0.14 price of grapes from 1960.
$0.14 x 2.78 = $0.39
Now to get the amount of increase subtract the new price from the original price:
$0.39 - $0.14 = $0.25 increase.
B is the correct answer I think
Step 1: subtract x from -3. New equation should be y=-3-x.
Step 2: plug that equation into top equation. Should be 5x + 2(-3-x) = 9.
Step 3: use distribitive properties on 2(-3-x). New equation is 5x - 6 - 2x = 9.
Step 4: combine like terms. New equation 3x - 6 = 9.
Step 5: work it out. Divide 3x and 9 by 3. New equation is x - 6 = 3. Add 6 to -6 and 9. Final eqaution is x = 9.
Step 6: swap 9 for x in second equation. New equation is 9 + y = -3
Step 7: subtract 9 from 9 and -3. New equation is y = -12
: = = -
Answer:
45%
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 20 lollilops with lemon in total. 9 of them have a chocolate center. 9/20=0.45. To convert it into percentage you would multiply the number by 100. 0.45*100=45
The answer is 45%
