Let x = Initial Price
If we increase x by 5%, we are adding 0.05x
Therefore, the new price = x + 0.05x = 1.05x
If the ticket has increased by £2.30, £2.30 is 5% of the initial price, or 0.05x
0.05x = 2.30
x = 2.30/0.05
x = 46
Therefore, the price of the ticket before the increase was £46
You can also check this backwards by doing 46*0.05 = 2.30
Set the two equal to each other and solve for x
-2x+1 = -2x²+1
-2x= -2x²
x=x²
x²-x=0
x(x-1) =0, so x is either 0 or 1
two solutions, namely (0,1) and (1,1)
Use the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean Theorem uses the following formula:

Plug in the known values into the equation:



Subtract both sides by 36.

Square root both sides to get b by itself.


The value of x is 8.
12x is the correct answer
The answer is B (There is evidence that a Type BBB orange typically weighs more than a Type AAA orange.) this is right on edulastic
