Question

Before noon on Tuesday, there was a certain number of hex nuts in a bin. After a delivery at noon that day, the number of hex nuts in the bin increased by 30%. What could be the number of hex nuts in the bin after that delivery?

Answer 1

Answer: The number of hex nuts in the bin after that delivery is 1.3x.

Explanation:

Let the number of hex nuts in a bin before noon on Tuesday be 'x'.

After a delivery at noon,

the number of hex nuts in the bin increased by 30%.

So, According to question, we get that

`(100+30)/(100)* x\\\\=(130)/(100)* x\\\\=1.3x`

Hence, the number of hex nuts in the bin after that delivery is 1.3x.
