For this case you can solve the problem by applying a simple rule of three in which we have
520 ---> 100%
800 ---> x
Clearing x we have
x = (800/520) * 100 = 154%
the percentage increase in cost was
154-100 = 54%
answer
the percentage increase in cost was 54%
Because he has 4 pounds of apples left, you are to subtract that from the total pounds picked, which was a total of 55 pounds. So 55 with 4 taken away, or 55 - 4, equals 51. Since he had equally put 51 pounds into six bags, you are to then divide . 51 / 6 = 8.5. He had put 8.5 pounds worth of apples into each bag.
2(5n-2)=4(n+2)
10n-4=4n+8
6n-4=8
6n=12
n=2
First, you need to change it from standard form to slope-intercept form. To do this, you have to add 3x to both sides. Now that y is by itself, divide by 5 on both sides. Your equation should now be y=3x+3. Then, graph the points. Your x-intercept should be at (-5,0) and your y- intercept should be at (0,3).
The answer to the question is d
