A number increased by 25% and the result is 9000. What was the original number? A.2250 B.7200 C.36000 D.11250

Option B, 7200

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Make an expression

A number increased by 25% and the result is 9000.

x * (1 + 0.25) = 9000

x * (1.25)

1.25x = 9000

Step 2:  Divide both sides by 1.25

1.25x / 1.25 = 9000 / 1.25

x = 7200

 Option B, 7200

true

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.
