You can work out the difference between the numbers by taking the smaller one away from the larger one:
70.20 - 65 = 5.20
Then you can divide the difference (5.20) by the original number (65) to get how many percent it is of 65 in decimal form:
5.20/65 = 0.08
Then you can times it by 100, to get the percentage:
0.08 * 100 = 8%
This means there was a 8% price increase in $65 to get to $70.20
Hope this helps! :)
We can use FOIL to solve.
(x + 7)(x + 10)
(x * x) + (x * 7) + (7 * x) + (7 * 10)
x² + 7x + 7x + 70
x² + 14x + 70
Best of Luck!
Answer:
x=75
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use proportions to solve this problem. Put the side of the small triangle over the side of the large triangle.
42 50
------ = ----------
42+63 50+x
42 50
------ = ----------
105 50+x
Using cross products
42(50+x) = 50*(105)
2100+42x = 5250
Subtract 2100 from each side
2100-2100+42x = 5250-2100
42x =3150
Divide by 42
42x/42 = 3150/42
x = 75
It is the distance between -14 and 0 on the number line
