If you want to find out what that number is, then let's call it n
n + 3n (Three times the number) + 12 = 32
Simplify
4n + 12 = 32
Subtract 12 from each side
4n = 20
Divide each side by 4
n = 5
They are equivalent. combine like terms on the first one and 9x-4x+25 can be simplified to 5x+25.
2 to the power of 20/3 to the power of 8. 2^20/3^8 for short.
There was a
66
% increase from Sari's sales from November to December.
To find the percentage increase in her sales, we must first find the amount her sales increased. We can do that by subtracting the greeting cards sold in November from the number of greeting cards sold in December. Substituting values and simplifying, we get that she sold 200 more greeting cards in December.
To find what percent increase this is, we must find what percent 200 is of the number of greeting cards sold in November. We can do this by dividing 200 by the number of cards sold in November (300), and then multiplying by 100 (to make it a percent). Doing this, we get

* 100 which gives us our answer of
66
%.
