Answer:

The first increase was of 60%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial value of the product is x.

The first increase was of y.

The second increase is of 25%, that is, 1.25.

The final price was double the original, so 2x.

This situation can be modeled by the following equation:

xy(1.25) = 2x

We want to find y.

Simplifying by x

1.25y = 2

y = \frac{2}{1.25}

y = 1.6

After the first increase, the value was 1.6 of the original value, that is a increase as a percent of (1.6 - 1)*100 = 60%.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

a. 90

b. 360

Step-by-step explanation:

The time taken by humming bird to flap its wings= 0.08 sec

by flying 7.2 seconds a typical giant hummingbird flap its wings \frac{7.2}{0.08} times

= 90 times

Since, A ruby-throated hummingbird can flap its wings 4 times faster than a giant hummingbird, it will flap its wings in every 0.02 sec

so in 7.2 seconds it will flap \frac{7.2}{0.02} times = 360 times

A group of children share 11 3/7 vegetarian pizzas. Each child receives 10/14 of a pizza. How many children are in the group
7nadin3 [17]
8 children because
11 3/7 is equal to 83/14
If each child receives 10/14
83/10
= 8.3
There can't be .3 of a child so round it and you get 8!
Hope this helps!

Simplify (3x – 5) + (5x + 1).
Andrej [43]

Answer:

(-2x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is ( 3x - 5 ) - ( 5x + 1 )

We have to simplify the given expression

First we will open the bracket having negative notation outside.

( 3x - 5 ) - 5x - 1

3x - 5 - 5x - 1

Now we will collect the similar terms together.

3x - 5x - 5 -1

-2x - 6

So the simplified form of the expression is (-2x - 6)
