Answer:

x+0.65x and x(1 + 0.65)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Original number of houses last month = x

If there are 65% increase in the number of houses, then;

Increment = 65% of x

Increment = 0.65x

The number of houses sold compared to last month = Original number + Increment

The number of houses sold compared to last month = x + 0.65x

This can also be expressed as x (1+ 0.65)

Hence the required expressions are x + 0.65x and x(1 + 0.65)
