Answer:
40%
Step-by-step explanation:
You subtract 11,970-8,550 = 3,420 to isolate the increase.
Divide 3,420/8,550 = .4 to get the percent increase of the markup.
The answer is .4 or 40% (they are equivalent)
You can check my work by multiplying 8,550 * .4 = 3,420
This answer is the percent of 8,550 that it increased (40% of 8,550) so make sure that is what the question is asking. If it is then it's your answer.
Honestly I couldn't understand most of that but if one gallon of oil is needed to fry 6 potatoes, and he wants to fry 18 potatoes, then he'll end up using 3 gallons
3.88888=3.88888/1=38.8888888
so lets ssay our repeating decimal = a fraction x
x=3.888 is true
multiply by 10
10x=38.8888
now subtract fir frist eqation from second
10x-x=38.8888-3.888888
9x=35
divide both sides by 9
x=35/9
x=3 and 7/9
anser is 3.88=3 and 7/9
Due to the u-shaped graph suggested by these data points, this would best be matched with a quadratic function.
