The cost of a pound of nails increased from $2.17 to $2.52. What is the percent of increase to the nearest whole-number percent?

16%  is the percent of increase to the nearest whole-number percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the cost of a pound of nails increased from $2.17 to $2.52.

so dividing the 0.35 by 2.17 would give us the percetange of increase

Therefore, 16%  is the percent of increase to the nearest whole-number percent.

hope it

step-by-step explanation:

x^(1/6) · x^(1/6) · x^(1/6)   ·x^(1/6) = x^(4/6)   since we add the exponents

4/6 can be simplified to 2/3

the simplified form is x^(2/3)
