Answer:

57.45% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for percent change is (new - old)/new x 100.

The new value is $282 and the old value is $120.

Plug that into the formula:

(282 - 120)/282 x 100

= 57.45%

I hope this helped!

A pencil factory makes 50 cases of pencils in 5 hours.

Oduvanchick [21]

If a pencil factory makes 50 cases of pencils in 5 hours. Let's first find out how many cases are made per hour.

50 ÷ 5 = 10 cases per hour

Now you need to know how long it will take to make 55 cases. Since we already know that it takes 5 hours to make 50 cases. So you need to know how many cases for the extra 5 cases. If it takes 1 hour to make 10 cases, it would only take 1/2 hour to make 5 cases.

So it would take 5 1/2 hours to make 55 cases.

Hope this helps. :)

Choose all that rearrange the formula correctly.If

Answer:

I sure hope none is an answer because none of these work!

Step-by-step explanation:

C = 59 (F - 32)

(C/59) = F - 32

F = C/59 + 32

So no :(

m = x + y + z3

y = m - x - z3

So no :((

s = r^2 - 1

r = sqrt(s+1)

So no :000

A = 12(a+b)

A = 12a + 12b

12b = A - 12a

b = A/12 - a

So no :00(((

m = x + y^2

y = sqrt (m-x)

AND no :|
