The increase in price is 140% of the original price.
The original price was 100% of the original price since 100% is a whole quantity.
Now the new price is 140% more than it was, so the new price is
100% + 140% of the old price.
100% + 140% = 240%
Now we find 240% of $50.
To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number.
240% of $50 =
= 240% * $50
= 2.4 * $50
= $120

Answer:
8x -24 = 9y
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume your equation is ...
2/3x -2 = 3/4y
__
Fractions can be eliminated by multiplying the equation by the least common denominator of the fractions.
LCM(3, 4) = 12
Multiplying the equation by 12 gives you ...
12(2/3x -2) = 12(3/4y)
8x -24 = 9y
Answer:
46 ≥ 2m + 4
m ≥ 21
Step-by-step explanation:
At least is ≥
Karen's age = 46 years old
Mary's age = m years old
Karen is at least 4 years more than twice mary's age (m).
46 ≥ 2m + 4
46 - 4 ≥ 2m
42 ≥ 2m
m ≥ 42/2
m ≥ 21
