David wants to place an order of supplies. his budget is 8 percent higher than it was last month. if his budget last month was $352.86, what is his budget for this month?

His budget for this month is $381.09

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this question using a simple rule of three.

His budget last month, of $352.86, was 100% = 1. His budgets this month, which is x, is 8% higher, so 100+8 = 108% = 1.08. So

$352.86 - 1

$x - 1.08

His budget for this month is $381.09

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this
