increase in the medication if the original medication was 180 milligrams?

C. 22.2%
D. 45% Ans✓✓✓ C. 22.2%

the total protein intake rounded to the nearest tenth of a decimal?
A. 46.5g
B. 46.8g
C. 46.9g
D. 47g Ans✓✓✓ B. 46.8g
Addition Principle of Equality Ans✓✓✓ The fact that we can add the same
number to both sides of an equation, and the result will be an equivalent
equation.
