Formula for finding percent change (increase or decrease) is amount of the change divided by the original amount.
Here, the amount of the change is 50 and the original amount is 250.
50/250= 0.2

Answer:
the second one on the top right
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute 2 and remove parentheses :
1/2x+8=3x-6
Multiply both sides of equation by 2:
x+16=6x-12
Move terms:
x+16-6x=-12
x-6x=-12-16
Collect like terms:
-5x=-28
Divide both sides:
x=28/5
