It can help you by showing you what you do more simplified. For example 3(x+5) is 3 time x + 3 times 5
Answer:
Increasing a number by 5% and then by 20% is the same as increasing the original number by 26%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Take a number, x.
Now increase it by 5%.
1.05x
Now increase it by 20%.
1.2 * 1.05x = 1.26x
1.26x = 126% of x = 100% of x + 26% of x
100% of x is the same as x, so it is the same as the original x.
The increase is 26% of the original number.
Increasing a number by 5% and then by 20% is the same as increasing the original number by 26%.
b=3
I found this out by subtracting and adding on both sides.
First you add all the numbers together. So you add 82+93+75+89 to get 339. Once you get that, you divide it by the amount of numbers there are. In this case, it's 4. 339 divided by 4 is 84.75.
HOPE THIS HELPS!!
