#23-6: the pool concession stand made $5,800 in june and $6,300 in july. what is the percent of increase in sales? round the answer to the nearest tenth.

8.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent change, you will need to compute the positive difference and then divide the difference by the original (the older amount).

So the positive difference will be obtain by doing larger minus smaller:

 6300

- 5800

   500

The older amount was 5800.

So 500/5800 is the answer as a un-reduced fraction.

I'm going to reduce it by dividing top and bottom by 100:

500/5800  = 5/58

5/58 is the answer as a reduced fraction.

5 divided by 58 gives=0.086206897  in the calculator .

Approximately 0.0862 is the answer as a decimal.

To convert this to a percentage, multiply it by a 100:

8.62%

Rounded to the nearest tenths is 8.6%

So 5800+5800(.0862) should be pretty close to 6300 (not exactly though since we rounded).

5800+5800(.0862)=6299.96 using the calculator.

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
