Answer:
20% increase
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percent increase, you can divide the increase value by the original: 30/25 = 1.2 --> 120%. Next, since they ask for the percent of increase, you can subtract 1 or 100% from your answer which would give you a final answer of 20% increase.
Let the original price of the sweater be = X
Then the amount Jerome pays for the sweater after 20% discount = X - (20X/100)
= X - 0.2X
= 0.8X
Now on this price the 8.25% tax needs to be added to get to the amount actually paid by Jerome.
So,
0.8X + [(8.25/100) * (0.8X) = 25.1
This is the equation from which the actual price of the sweater bought by Jerome can be determined.
So
0.8X + [(.0825) * ( 0.8X) = 25.1
0.8X + 0.066X = 25.1
0.866X = 25.1
X = 25.1/0.866
= 28.98
So the actual price of the sweater is $28.98.

Write the proportion formula like this: P(event) For this problem you would write it like this: P(pick red) Since there are 4 blocks (two red and two blue) there is a 1/2 chance that you would pull out a red block.
Hope this helps!

I like pie it’s very nice to use and i think the length is
15% of £70= £10.5
Expenditure =£24+£10.5=£34.5
Net amount raised =gross amount - Expenditure
=£70-£34.5=£35.5
