The price of a notebook has risen to $3.45 today. Yesterday’s price was $3.20. Find the percentage increase. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

7.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Yesterday’s price =$3.20

Today’s price =$3.45

Increase =today’s price - yesterday’s price

That’s $3.45 - $3.20

= $0.25

Percentage increase = increment /yesterday’s price x 100%

That’s $0.25/$3.20 x 100%

0.0781 x 100%

7.81

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
