Answer:
A. 2 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
From 86 books to 150 books. An increase of 64 books.
(150 - 86) / 86 = 64 / 86 = 0.744 * 100% = 74.40% or 74% increase
150 / 86 = 1.744 * 100% = 174.40%
86 is the basis. It is 100%
If the problem asks for the value of the percentage increase and the rate is given 74.4% of 86. Then 86 * 74.4% = 64. You just add 64 to 86 to get the new total of books which is 150.
Answer:
So I believe your just graphing here like a line or bar graph. Look at images in Google for references if needed.
First lets remove the initial fee

150 is how much she is charging you per hour.
If each hour is 55, lets divide 150 by 55.

She charged you for 2.7 hours (almost 3) of service
Her error was that she thought 0.1 and 1/4 were negatives but they are still positive.
She also thought the larger the negative the greatest one. The smaller negative is the greatest because it's bellow 0.
To solve this you would first need to turn 1/4 into 0.25
It would start out with -2 cause that is the least. Then -1. Now its back to positive so the least to greatest would be normal.
So the real answer would be -2, -1, 0.1, 1/4
