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%.

X-(9x-10)+11=12x+3(-2x+ 1/3)

morpeh [17]

X - (9x - 10) + 11 = 12x + 3(-2x + $\frac{1}{3}$ ) equals x = $\frac{10}{7}$ .

First, simplify brackets. / Your problem should look like: x - 9x + 10 + 11 = 12x + 3(-2x + $\frac{1}{3}$ ).
Second, simplify x - 9x + 10 + 11 to -8x + 10 + 11. / Your problem should look like: -8x + 10 + 11 = 12x + 3(-2x + $\frac{1}{3}$ ).
Third, simplify -8x + 10 + 11 to -8x + 21. / Your problem should look like: -8x + 21 = 12x + 3(-2x + $\frac{1}{3}$ ).
Fourth, expand. / Your problem should look like: -8x + 21 = 12x - 6x + 1.
Fifth, simplify 12x - 6x + 1 to 6x + 1./ Your problem should look like: -8x + 21 = 6x + 1.
Sixth, add 8x to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 21 = 6x + 1 + 8x.
Seventh, simplify 6x + 1 + 8x to 14x + 1. / Your problem should look like: 21 = 14x + 1.
Eighth, subtract 1 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 21 - 1 = 14x.
Ninth, simplify 21 - 1 to 20. / Your problem should look like: 20 = 14x.
Tenth, divide both sides by 14. / Your problem should look like: $\frac{20}{14}$ = x.
Eleventh, simplify $\frac{20}{14}$ to $\frac{ 10}{7}$ . / Your problem should look like: $\frac{10}{7}$ = x.
Twelfth, switch sides. / Your problem should look like: x = $\frac{10}{7}$ which is your answer.
