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%.

What is the point of intersection when the system of equations below is graphed on the coordinate plane?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

<h2>not exist</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the intersection of the line are the solution of the system of equations.

\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x-y=1\\y-x=1\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\.\qquad\qquad0=2\qquad\bold{FALSE}

The system of equations has no solution. Therefore, the lines are parallel (the intersection does not exist).

"In three more years,Miguel's grandfather will be six times as old as Miguel was last year. When Miguel's present age is added to his grandfather's present age, the total is 68. How old is each one now?"

Miguel is 11 years old and his grandfather is 57 years old.
Last year Miguel was 10. In three more years his grandfather would be 60. 60/6=10. 11+57=68
