Calculation:
x represents the original score of a student.
10% of x is given by,
10100×x=0.1x
So when the score is increased by 10%, the new score is given by,
x+0.1x = 1.1x
Therefore,
The function that represents the score increased by 10% is given by f(x) = 1.lx
When the original score is increased by 8 points,
The new score is given by,
x+8
Therefore,
The function that represents the score increased by 8 points is given by g(x) =x + 8.
