In 1978, the amount of earnings required to earn one Social Security credit was $250. Thirty years later, in 2008, this amount was $1,150. What was the percent increase in the amount required to earn a credit, over this 30-year span? Use a percent sign .

the percentage increase is 360%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the increase in percentage is shown below;

Given that

SOcial security credit as on 1978 is $250

And, the social security tax as on 2008 is $1,150

Now based on the above information

The percentage increase is

= ($1,150 - $250) ÷ ($250)

=  360%

Hence, the percentage increase is 360%

answer:

total cost for tiles and paints is $924.  

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given that a community hall is in the shape of a cuboid. the hall is 40m long 15m high and 3m wide.

the paint will be required for 4 walls and ceiling.

let us find area of walls and ceiling.

therefore, the area of walls and ceiling is 1410 square meters.

given: cost for 10 litre of paint is $10 and 10 litre paint covers 25 square meter. therefore,

therefore, the total painting cost is $564.

tiles will be required for floor. let us find the area of floor.

given: 1m squared floor tiles costs $3. so,

therefore, the total tiles cost is $360.

now let us find combined total cost of tiles and paint.

therefore, the combined total cost of tiles and paint is $924.
