Question

Write an algebraic expression for the pair of numbers such that one is 83% more than the other one.Select one:a. x, 0.83xb.x, 1.83xC. x, 1+0.83xd. None of these.

Answer 1

B. x, 1.83x

Explanation:

Let the first number = x

If the second number is 83% more than the other one, then:

`\begin{gathered} \text{ The second number}=x+(83\%\text{ of x\rparen} \\ =x+((83)/(100)x) \\ =x+0.83x \\ =1.83x \end{gathered}`

The pair of numbers are x and 1.83x.

Option B is correct.
