250% of a number is the same as increasing the number by what percent?

Since I am not given an increase number i will solve for numbers 1-5

1 - 25000%

2 - 12500%

3 - 8333.333333333332%     (I recommend you don't use this one)

4 - 6250%

5 - 5000 %

Each number, it will increase by 250% no matter what

Its the same as increasing by 250%

Hope this helps <3

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation

graph of this function as shown below:

i believe it is c.y = 9x

rise over run. 9 units up over 1 unit right or 9/1
