Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the diameter of the fountain is 3 feet and that it is in the center of the pond.
We know that the area of a circumference is:
where r is the radius of the circumference.
further
d = 2r
Where d is the diameter of the circumference.
Then the radius 
of the source is 1.5 ft.
The radius 
of the pond is 1.5 + 3 = 4.5 ft
Finally the area of the pond is equal to the area of the ring that is shown in the image
I hope I am reading the problem right: The price of a mountain bike increased by 20% in the past year. The value is $150. What was the value of the mountain bike last year?
Let's simplify this. One year, there was this radical mountain bike that used to have an unsaid price, <em>x. </em>That year, that price of x increased by 20% more than it was before, or <em>120% times the original value</em>. Because of that, it's now $150.
We can equation this.
1.20x = 150
x = 150/1.2
x = 125
The bike, I believe, cost $125 last year. Hope this helps!
First round up 249.99 to 250.00
Then change the 4% into a decimal= 1.04
Now multiply so the equation is= 250 x 1.04 =
$260 as your answer!
