A store marks up an item from $50 to $100. a. What is the percentage increase?

b. $100 is what percentage of $50?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: A) it is a 100% increase

B) 200% of $50

Answer 2

Answer: a.) Half of 100 is 50. So that means that the percentage increase is 50%.
b.) Same as a,
100%/x% = 100/50
(100/x)*x = (100/50)*x Multiply both sides by x
100 = 2*x
100/2 = x
50 = x
x= 50

Work Shown below& answers I need an (a) equation for Tyler’s age x ,,,(b) how old is Tyler for (c) how old is Samantha. I need help please

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

tyler is x years old

t = x

samantha is 4 years older then tyler...

x + 4....this is samanthas age

three times samanthas age = 60

3(x + 4) = 60

3(x + 4) = 60 <=== this is an equation for tylers age....x = tylers age

3x + 12 = 60

3x = 60 - 12

3x = 48

x = 48/3

x = 16 <==== tyler is 16 years old

samantha is : x + 4.....16 + 4 = 20 <=== samantha is 20
