From 2.56 to 3.18; 3.18-2.56=0.62 increased 
so if 2.56 represented 100%
       0.62 represents     ? %
cross multiply 
?%= 0.62·100/2.56=24.21875 which rounded to the nearest whole is 24%

Answer: B.) 24%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The average cost for a gallon of gasoline increased from $2.56 one year to $3.18 the next year.

Increase in cost ( in dollars) = 3.18-2.56=0.62

The formula to find the percent decrease :-

\dfrac{\text{Increase in cost}}{\text{Previous cost}}\times100\\\\=\dfrac{0.62}{2.56}\times100\\\\=24.21875\approx24\%\ \ \text{[Rounded to the nearest whole percent.]}

Hence, the percent of increase = 24%

Upperloaf Bakery is baking loaves of cornbread and poppy-seed blueberry cake. The recipe for one loaf of corn bread calls for 2
swat32

Answer:

2.25c + 1.75p ≤ 28

1.25c + 2.125p ≤ 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Write a system of two inequalities to model loaves of bread and

cake that can be baked.

let

number of cornbread loaves = c

number of poppy-seed blueberry Cake loaves = p

corn bread

cups of flour = 2 1/4 = 2.25

teaspoon of baking soda = 1 1/4 = 1.25

One loaf of poppy-seed blueberry cake

cups of flour = 1 3/4 = 1.75

teaspoons of baking soda = 2 1/8 = 2.125

The bakery has 28 cups of flour and 30 teaspoons of baking soda in stock.

Quantity of flour to use

c(2.25) + p(1.75)

Quantity of baking soda to use

c(1.25) + p(2.125)

The inequality is

c(2.25) + p(1.75) ≤ 28

c(1.25) + p(2.125) ≤ 30

Alternatively,

2.25c + 1.75p ≤ 28

1.25c + 2.125p ≤ 30
