N.B. I believe your question is saying that the price of a cup of coffee was $2.40 yesterday, and it rose to $2.65 today. Therefore, I will solve with these prices.
The percent increase is 10.41666666% (The 6 is repeating.).
First, you find the difference, or increase, between the two prices.
New price - Old price = Increase
$2.65 - $2.40 = $0.25
The difference between the two prices is $0.25. To find the percent increase, you want to divide the original price ($2.40) from the increase ($0.25) and multiply by 100.
Increase ÷ Original Price × 100 = % increase
0.25 ÷ 2.40 × 100 = 10.41666666%
The percent increase is 10.41666666% (The 6 is repeating.).
Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
Since f(x) varies directly with x, f(x) can be expressed alternatively as \[f(x) = k * x\] where k is a constant value.
Given that f(x) is 72 when the value of x is 6.
This implies, \[72 = k * 6\]
Simplifying and rearranging the equation to find the value of k:
k = \frac{72}{6}
Hence k = 12
Or, \[f(x) = 12 * x\]
When x = 3, \[f(x) = 12 *3 \]
Or in other words, the value of f(x) when x=3 is 36
Answer:
51
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the middle number be x. Then the 3 numbers will be, x-1, x and x+1. Therefore x-1+x+x+1=51. Therefore: 16+17+18= 51.
