I believe it's b. Hope this helps
<span>-3|15 - s| + 2s^3 when s = -3 is
</span>-3|15 - (-3)| + 2(-3)^3 = <span>-3|15 + 3| + 2(-27) = </span><span>-3|18| + (-54) = -3(18) - 54 = -54 - 54 = -108</span>
Hello! The first thing to do is to find the amount of change by subtracting both numbers. 2.60 - 0.25 is 2.35. Now, we set up a proportion by doing change/original = x/100. With the values plugged in, it would be written like this: 2.35/0.25 = x/100. Cross multiply the values in the proportion. When you do, you get 235 = 0.25x. Now, divide each side by 0.25 to isolate the "x". When you do that, x = 940. The price of gas has gone up 940% since 1930.
A mixed number is a combination of a whole number and a fraction, so in this case we have 8 as the whole part and 0.45 as the fraction, 0.45 is equal to 45/100, and that fraction can be simplified as well, lets see:
8.45 = 8 45/100
= 8 9/20
