Pipers Pizza shop used 18% more cheese this month than last month, due to having a discount on the extra chesse toppings. If the pizza shop used 150 pounds of cheese last month how much did it use this month

177 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an equation to represent the system.

Since it's 18% more than what was used last month an equation can be written such as the one below:

(118%)( last month's cheese ) = this month's cheese

Convert the percentages into decimals by moving the decimal place at the end of 118.00 two places to the left

118% = 1.18

( 1.18 )( last month's cheese ) = this month's cheese

Next, plug in the number for last month's cheese

( 1.18 )( 150 pounds) =

177 pounds

y = 2x

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide each number in the sequence, you'll see that they all have a multiple factor of 2. each number in the series, and any other numbers which may continue, will be multiplied by 2. therefore, y is the next number in the sequence, and x is the current one, so, our formula will be y = 2x.
