Yes, these are equivalent
Answer:
1.23d = 52
Explanation:
If 52 meters is the water level after a 23% increase, then we can say that the initial depth d added to the 23% of d is equal to 52 meters. So:
d + 23%d = 52 meters
Since 23% is equivalent to 0.23, we get:
d + 0.23d = 52
Finally, adding the like terms, we get:
(1 + 0.23)d = 52
1.23d = 52
So, the equation is:
1.23d = 52
