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%

Find m∠XYW and m∠WYZ m
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

<XYZ = 117°

<XYW+ WYZ = 117°

(6x+44)+(-10x+65)= 117°

6x+44-10x+65= 117°

-4x+ 109= 117°

-4x= 117-109

-4x= 8

x= 8/-4

x= -2

<XYW= 6x+44= 6×-2+44= -12+44= 32°

<WYZ= -10x+65 = -10×-2+ 65= 20+65= 85°
