Answer:
-14
Step-by-step explanation:
The negative sign is not inside of the absolute value sign so it would be -14
You would multiply that number by 1.175
Remember that 17.5%=17.5/100=0.175
I this case, there is a whole number that is increasing by 17.5% so we add a whole to the 17.5%
100%+17.5%=117.5% or 1.175
So if 'x' was the number, the expression would look like:
1.175x
