yes

Answer 6

Actually, we need to add in the principle amount, so we would do
(1+r)p
In this case, r is the percent of increase, which is 20%
So, we would multiply
120% and 3 3/4 hours together

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

To convert a percentage to a decimal, you divide the decimal by 100
So, 120% converted into a decimal is 1.2

Answer 9

3 3/4, you should know, is 3.75

So,
3.75 * 1.2
