Answer:

C. 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The following proportional can be set-up for the figure given:

$\frac{x + 3}{x} = \frac{10 + 2}{10}$

Solve for x

$\frac{x + 3}{x} = \frac{12}{10}$

$\frac{x + 3}{x} = \frac{6}{5}$

Cross multiply

$5(x + 3) = x(6)$

$5x + 15 = 6x$

15 = 6x - 5x

15 = x

x = 15

What is the percent of change from 60 to 87?

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

45% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

The new number (87) is bigger than the original number (60), so this is a percent increase.

To find the percent of change, which in this case is a percent increase, take the change amount and divide by the original, then convert to a percent.

Subtract to find the change.

87 - 60 is 27.

27 is the amount of change.

change/original

= 27/60

= .45

Times by 100 to change to a percent.

.45 × 100

= 45%
