Answer:

The percentage of increase in fuel expenses is 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Fuel expense in last year =  $800

Fuel expense in this year =  $960

To Find:

The percentage of increase

Solution:

Let the percentage increase be X

Then X  =\frac{\text{final value}-\text{starting value}}{\text{starting value}}\times 100

Now substituting the values we get,

X =\frac{960-800}{800}\times 100

X =\frac{160{800}\times 100

X =0.2 \times 100

X= 20%

patriot [66]
<span>Carla is renting a canoe. It’s cost $80 for 2 hours and $160 for 4 hours. What is the rate per hour?

If we want to get a full understanding of this question we must use the information given.

If renting the canoe cost $80 per 2 hours, to get 1 hour we must divide $80 by 2.

</span>\frac{80}{2}=40

or $40

We can also use $160 and 4 hours

\frac{160}{4}=40

or $40

So the rate per hour is $40
