Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

There's many ways you can begin this, I prefer getting rid of the fraction first.

Multiply both sides by 3/2 (yes, I switched it on purpose)

You get. . .

5x-6 = 9

To isolate the 5x, add 6 to both sides

5x = 15

Divide both sides by 5 and you get . . .

A used-droid dealership buys a droid for $2900 and then sells it for $4300. What is the percent increase?

Anna71 [15]

The percent increase is 48.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Purchase price of used-droid = $2900

Selling price of used=droid = $4300

Profit = Selling price - purchase price

Profit = 4300-2900 = $1400

Percent increase = $\frac{Profit}{Purchase\ price}*100$

$Percent\ increase=\frac{1400}{2900}*100\\\\Percent\ increase=\frac{140000}{2900}\\\\Percent\ increase=48.275\%$

Rounding off to nearest hundredth;

Percent increase = 48.28%

The percent increase is 48.28
