First, subtract to get the difference.
2.85 – 2.78 = 0.07
Next, divide 2.78 by 100
2.78 ÷ 100 = 0.0278
So, 0.0278 is 1%. Divide 0.07 by 0.0278 to get the answer.
0.07 ÷ 0.0278 ≈ 2.518
2.518 ≈2.5
Therefore, the percentage increase is approximately 2.5% (that's the answer).
Hope this helps!
Answer:
1. A number decreased by seven.
2. A number increased by nine.
3. The product of six and a number, divided by eight.
4. The product of three and a number increased by five is equal to twenty.
5. The product of two and a number increased by eight is equal to twenty-three.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. x-7
A number decreased by seven.
2. y+9
A number increased by nine.
3. 6m/8
The product of six and a number, divided by eight.
4. 3y+5 =20
The product of three and a number increased by five is equal to twenty.
5. 2(x+8)= 23
The product of two and a number increased by eight is equal to twenty-three.

Step-by-step explanation:
If the tank holds 2500 liters and there are already 750 liters in there, he only needs to buy 1750 liters.
If he is saving 6%, he is still spending 94%, so
.94(58.4) = 54.896 (what he'll be paying per liter after the 6% comes off, then
54.896(1750) = $96,068
Answer:
e. 10√30
Step-by-step explanation:
In this right triangle geometry, all of the right triangles are similar. This means that the ratio of long side to hypotenuse is the same for all triangles:
x/(10+50) = 50/x
Multiplying by 60x, we have ...
x^2 = 3000
x = 10√30 . . . . . take the square root. Matches choice E.

<em>Comment on estimating</em>
You're looking for x. Examining the figure, you see that x is the long side of the triangle with hypotenuse 10+50=60, so it will be shorter than that value. x is also the hypotenuse of the triangle with long side 50. So, x will be longer than 50.
The only answer choice with a value between 50 and 60 is choice E.
You don't even need to know how to find x. You only need to know that the hypotenuse is the longest side in a right triangle.
