Answer:

87.5 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

when you have to increase a number by 50 percent you are multiplying it by 1.5

later when you increase the number by 25 percent you multiply it by 1.25

you can multiply 1.5 by 1.25 to get your answer

1.5 * 1.25 is 1.875

so the percent increase is 87.5 percent

What is 4 3/4 + 7/8 showing all work

Mekhanik [1.2K]

$4 \frac{3}{4} + \frac{7}{8}$

Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions

$= \frac{19}{4} + \frac{7}{8}$

Find de LCD for 4 and 8 :

Factor each denominator into its primes:

$4 = 2^2
$

$8 = 2^3$

Find the least common denominator $2^3 = 8$

Adjust fractions based on the LCD :

$\frac{19*2}{8} + \frac{7}{8}$

Since the denominators are equal , combine the fractions:

$\frac{2*19+7}{8}$

$\frac{38+7}{8}$

$= \frac{45}{8}$

Therefore:

Convert improper fractions to mixed numbers

$= 5 \frac{5}{8}$

hope this helps!
