Answer:

The percent increase in pay is 50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the percent increase from $24 to $36.

To solve this, we first must ask ourselves the question

36 is what percent of 24?

Y = P% of 24

36 = X · 24

To get X alone, we divide 36 by 24. That's 1.50. So now we know 36 is 150% of 24. Knowing 24 is 100%, we can find the percent increase. Well, how do we get from 100% (24) to 150% (36)? By increasing by 50%. Therefore, the percent increase in pay is 50%.

The sum of two numbers is 89. Three times the smaller

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The numbers are 40 and 49

Step-by-step explanation:

Smaller number = x

Larger number = y

Let's write our system of equations:

x + y = 89

3x = y + 71

***************************

x = 89 - y

Substituting x in the 2nd equation and solving for y:

3 (89 - y) = y + 71

267 - 3y = y + 71

-3y - y = 71 - 267 (Like terms)

-4y = - 196

y = -196/-4

y = 49

Solving for x in the 1st equation:

x + y = 89

x + 49 = 89

x = 89 - 49

x = 40

The numbers are 40 and 49

What is the value of x? Enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box. ft

Lilit [14]

Answer:

67.5 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of MA = 71.5 - 22 = 49.5 ft.

Length of BP = 97.5 - x.

So we have the equation:

22 / 49.5 = (97.5- x) / x

Cross multiply:

22x = 49.5(97.5 - x)

22x = 4826.25 - 49.5x

22x + 49.5x = 4826.25

71.5x = 4826.25

x = 4826.25/71.5

x= 67.5 ft.
