Answer:
x=291/76
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert:
1/2x(6x+ 1/2)=-0.8x+16-1.2
Remove parenthesis and move terms:
3x+1/4=-0.8x+14.8
Collect the like terms and convert:
3x+0.8x=14.8-1/4
Subtract the fractions:
3.8x=74/5-1/4
Divide both sides by 3.8:
3.8x=291/20
x=291/76

Given:
Suppose Paul receives a 6% raise every year.
To find:
After four such raises, the total percentage increase to the nearest whole percent.
The formula used to calculate percentage is: (value/total value)*100%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 of 1
Assume his salary is originally 100 dollars.
Then, in the next year, he would have 106 dollars, and in the next, he would have 112.36 dollars.
The next year he would have 119.1016 dollars and in the final year, he would have 126.247.
As the total increase is,
((126.247 -100)/100) *100
= 26.247%
the answer is 26%.
