Mathematics

Ksju [112]2 years ago

Answer:

9% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

17% increase :

Let initial percentage = 100%

17% increase means :

100% + 17% = 117%

Followed by 8% decrease :

117% - 8% = 109%

Hence, the final percentage = 109%

To represent the total change as a single percentage change :

Change = final percentage - Initial percentage

Change = 109% - 100%

Change = 9%

This is a 9% increase

Amie works 6 hours each Saturday and 4 hours each Monday. She also makes $20 a week as a dog walker. She makes a total of $130 e
Harman [31]
I feel like the answer is 

10h = 110 

although it's so simple that I'm not even sure it would be considered an equation. 

I got the answer because she works, in total, 10 hours a week. She makes $130 a week, but since $20 comes from the dog walking, you have to do 130 minus 20 which is 110. That's what I did anyway.

Then, the total cost of some weight of fruit is
  2.19g + 0.59b + 1.49p


Part B.
For g=3, b=3, p=2, the expression evaluates to
