Answer:
12.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
The price increased from 800 to 900. So what is the PERCENTAGE INCREASE??
The increase is 900 - 800 = 100
To find this in terms of original, we need to divide 100 by 800 and multiply by 100 to get the "percentage". Let's do it:

So the increase is 12.5% and thus the general sales tax is 12.5%
Answer:
12*(3)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the exponential function be y=a*b^x. Given y(0)=12, a=12. Next y(2)=36, b=3
Answer:
3:12 = 1:4
Step-by-step explanation:
3 cups of flour = 4 cups brown sugar
4 x 3 = 12
3:12 = 1:4 (simplest form)
Answer:
x = - 7, y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
7x + 7y = - 7 -----> equation 1
- 10x - 7y = 28 -----> equation 2
Add equations 1 & 2,
7x + 7y = - 7
- 10x - 7y = 28
___________
- 3x + 0 = 21
- 3x = 21
x = 21 / - 3
x = - 7
Substitute x = - 7 in equation 1,
7x + 7y = - 7
7y + 7x = - 7
7y + 7 ( - 7 ) = - 7
7y - 49 = - 7
7y = - 7 + 49
7y = 42
y = 42 / 7
y = 6
