Answer:

a=9

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this proportion, we have to get the variable, a, by itself.

First, cross multiply.

6/a=18/27

Multiply the denominator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second, and the numerator of the second by the denominator of the first.

a*18=6*27

18a=162

Now, 18 and a are being multiplied. In order to get a by itself, perform the opposite of what is being done. They are being multiplied, so the opposite would be division. Divide both sides by 18.

18a/18=162/18

a=162/18

a=9

So, the proportion, with 9 substituted in for a, will be:

6/9=18/27

The value of a house has increased by $4,200 in the past year. By what percent has the value increased if the value last year wa
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The value has increased by <u>8 percent</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The value of a house has increased by $4,200 in the past year.

The value last year was $52,500.

Now, to find the percent increased.

<em>Value of house = $52,500.</em>

<em>Value of house last year increased by = $4200.</em>

So, to get the percent increased:

\frac{Value\ of\ house\ last\ year\ increased\ by} {Value\ of\ house}\times 100.

=\frac{4200}{52500} \times 100

=0.08\times 100

=8\ percent.

Therefore, the value has increased by 8 percent.
