Given:

Kim picked 250 pounds of pears yesterday and 287 pounds of pears today.

To find:

The percentage increase of  amount of pears picked by Kim.

Solution:

We know that,

\%\text{ increase}=\dfrac{\text{New value - Initial value}}{\text{Initial value}}\times 100

\%\text{ increase}=\dfrac{287-250}{250}\times 100

\%\text{ increase}=\dfrac{37}{25}\times 10

\%\text{ increase}=\dfrac{370}{25}

\%\text{ increase}=14.8

Therefore, the percentage increase of  amount of pears picked by Kim is 14.8%.

Solve the linear equation:<br><br> x-y=7<br><br> 0.5x+y=5
evablogger [386]

Add the equations.

x-y%2B0.5x%2By=7%2B5

1.5x=12

 

highlight%28x=8%29

Now use either equation to solve for y.

8-y=7

highlight%28y=1%29

x=8

y=1
