One more than 8 times a number is the same as 12 times the number
decreased by 3. find the number.

Using algebra makes stuff like this easy.
8x + 1 = 12x - 3
4 = 4x
The number is 1!
One more than 8 times 1 is 9.
12 times one, decreased by 3, is also 9.

The answer is 270 cars.you can do this by making a proportional relationship. for instance, 200 is the whole we are using, so on a “number line” 200 would be over 100%. now, since he sells 35% more, add 35% to 100% to get 135% on the other side of the “number line” on the bottom half, leaving the top half empty.cross multiply 200 by 135 then divide by 100 to get your answer. i hope this , if it did, , if you don’t mind, giving me brainiest! 200/100% } 200 • 135 /100 ? /135%
