increased price = original price x (2 + increase percentage)

Increased price = 4 x 1.24

Increased price = $4.96

Answer:

The current price of a pound of strawberries is $4.96.

Step-by-step explanation:

Last week, they cost $4.

This week, they cost ($4) plus (24% of $4).

We know that 24% can also be written as 0.24

So 24% of $4 is

0.24 x $4 = $0.96

Since we want to find ($4) plus (24% of $4)

$4 + $0.96 = $4.96

So $4.96 is the final answer.

You set 49 equal to 8x - 15

So

8x - 15 = 49
+15 + 15

8x = 64

Then divide by 8

X= 8

After talking with you here are two different options I think you are trying to ask:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you are talking about: $(\frac{-12}{3}) ^{3}$

Answer: -62

Explanation:

PEMDAS tells us we need to do the exponent first:

-12³ = (-12)³ = -1728

<em>The parentheses are important so you cube the negative sign as well!</em>

3³ = 27

-1728 / 27 = -62

$(\frac{-12}{3}) ^{3}$ simplified is -62

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you are talking about (-1 $\frac{2}{3}$ )³

Answer: - $\frac{125}{27}$

Explanation:

First, let us turn -1 and two thirds into a mixed number:

Ignoring the negative for now, we can 1 times 3 is 3. 3 plus 2 is 5. 5/3 is 5/3. Adding in the negative we get $-\frac{5}{3}$

To cube it we must do:

( $-\frac{5}{3}$ )( $-\frac{5}{3}$ )( $-\frac{5}{3}$ )

3 times 3 (9) times 3 is 27

5 times 5 (25) times 5 is 125

So we have 125/27

For the negative, we have three - - -

Two cancel each other out, and we are left with one (-) so our answer is negative

(-1 $\frac{2}{3}$ )³ simplifed is - $\frac{125}{27}$

In Youngtown the population reach 4420 people in 1993 in 1998 there were 5600 residents what was toe population in the year 2000

dybincka [34]

So, let's find the rates:
5 years = 1180 people
5n = 1180
n = 236
236*2 = 472
5600 + 472 = 6072
6072 people

Please Help!<br> Please write a sentence or more about the difference between each plot

topjm [15]

Box Plot has less variability in the data. We can determine this by the distances between the beginning of the data to the end (range) and the distances between lower quartile and the upper quartile (interquartile range).

Box #1
Range - 30
IQR - 15

Box #2
Range - approximately 23
IQR - approximately 9

Box #2 has less variation in the data because the distances between these 2 ranges are smaller meaning the data is closer together.
