Given
gas prices are now $3.75 and it up 10% from 6 months ago.
Find out how much were gas prices 6 months ago.
To proof
gas prices now = $3.75
let the gas price 6 month ago = x
gas price now is rise up 10% from 6 months ago
First write 10% in simpler form

= 0.1
Now the equation becomes
0.1x + x = 3.75
1.1x = 3.75

x = 3.41 (approx)
Thus gas prices 6 months ago be $ 3.41 (approx )
Hence proved

Multiply $530.40 by 3/4. You get the equation

If you simplify this, you get the solution of $397.80
$397.80
Answer:I got 18.28
Step-by-step explanation:
so for getting the perimeter, you only need the outer line, so you sum the measurements you have for the rectangle: 1+2+2+7= 12. After that you need the circumference of the circle, you can figure it out by using the formula C = 2pi(r) You can find the radius by substracting the known sides of the rectangle attached to the circle from the bottom base and then dividing it in 2, leaving us with a radius of 2. Then we input values; C=2pi(2) which equals 4pi, but we need to divide that in half since it’s only half a circle. That leaves us with 2pi, or 6.28. Then we add the perimeter of the square, which was 12, and 6.28+12= 18.28
