What is the percent of increase in the rent for Bob's apartment if it went from $560 to $616?
2 answers:
This is a two step problem. First, you need to find the difference (or increase) in the rent using subtraction.
616-560 = $56 increase
Now we need to figure what percent 56 is to the original amount (560)
We voice it like this:
56 is to 560 as x is to 100.
The equation looks like this:
56/560 - x/100
Cross multiply to cancel out the denominators.
56 x 100 = 560 x
5600 = 560 x
x = 10 percent.
Check it!
What is 10 percent of 560?

The answer to this question is option A. 49
Steps to solve:
-3(x + 2) = 12
~Distributive Property
(-3 * x) + (-3 * 2) = 12
~Simplify
-3x - 6 = 12
~Add 6 to both sides
-3x - 6 + 6 = 12 + 6
~Simplify
-3x = 18
~Divide -3 to both sides
-3x/-3 = 18/-3
~Simplify
x = -6
Best of Luck!
