Answer:

(a) $1.98

(b) $6.30

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The new value =

1.80 + The value of the percentage increase =

1.80 + (10% × 1.80) =

1.80 + 10% × 1.80 =

(1 + 10%) × 1.80 =

(100% + 10%) × 1.80 =

110% × 1.80 =

110 ÷ 100 × 1.80 =

110 × 1.80 ÷ 100 =

198 ÷ 100 =

1.98

Calculate the actual change (the absolute difference) between the two values

The actual change =

The new value - 1.80 =

1.98 - 1.80 =

0.18

Proof of calculation.

Calculate the percentage increased value...

... and see if we get as a result...

... the actual change (the absolute difference).

Calculate the percentage increased value:

The value of the percentage increase =

10% × 1.80 =

10 ÷ 100 × 1.80 =

10 × 1.80 ÷ 100 =

18 ÷ 100 =

0.18

So we have proven that the calculations are correct.

For positive numbers

The actual change =

The value of the percentage increase

The answer:

1.80 increased by 10% = 1.98

The actual change:

1.98 - 1.80 = 0.18

(b)

Calculate the New value
The new value =

42.0 + The value of the percentage increase =

4.20 + (50% × 4.20) =

4.20 + 50% × 4.20 =

(1 + 50%) × 4.20 =

(100% + 50%) × 4.20 =

150% × 4.20 =

150 ÷ 100 × 4.20 =

150 × 4.20 ÷ 100 =

63,000 ÷ 100 =

630

(but its as a dollar so its 6.30)

Calculate the actual change (the absolute difference) between the two values

The actual change =

The new value - 4.20 =

6.30 - 4.20 =

2.10

Proof of calculation.

Calculate the percentage increased value...

... and see if we get as a result...

... the actual change (the absolute difference).

Calculate the percentage increased value:

The value of the percentage increase =

50% × 4.20 =

50 ÷ 100 × 4.20 =

50 × 4.20 ÷ 100 =

21,000 ÷ 100 =

210

(but its as a dollar so its 2.10)

So we have proven that the calculations are correct.

For positive numbers

The actual change =

The value of the percentage increase

The answer:

4.20 increased by 50% = 6.30

The actual change:

6.30 - 4.20 = 2.10

Find the area of the figure.
Ivanshal [37]

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Rectangle at the top =

Length x Width

= 3.5 \times 3 \\  = 10.5 {mm}^{2}

Area of Quarter- Circle = 1/4 x Area of Circle

=  \frac{1}{4} \pi {r}^{2}  \\  =  \frac{1}{4} \pi( {3.5}^{2} ) \\  = 3 \frac{1}{16} \pi {mm}^{2}

Area of Rectangle at the right = Length x Width

= 5.5 \times 3.5 \\  = 19.25 {mm}^{2}

Total Area = Area of 2 Rectangles + Area of Quarter Circle

= 10.5 + 3 \frac{1}{16} \pi + 19.25 \\  = 29.75 + 3  \frac{1}{16}\pi  \\  = 32  \frac{13}{16}\pi {mm}^{2}

I will leave the answer in terms of pi as I'm not sure if you need to round off your answer.

The quotient of two less than a number and five is eight
postnew [5]

Answer:

The number is 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the unknown number.

"two less than a number" is x - 2

Quotient means the result of a division.

(x - 2)/5 = 8

Multiply both sides by 5.

x - 2 = 40

Add 2 to both sides.

x = 42

Answer: The number is 42.

Check.

Start with 42. 2 less than 42 is 40. The quotient of 40 and 5 is 40/5 which is 8. The answer is correct.

What is the perimeter of a rectangular garden with a width of 24 feet and a diagonal of 40 feet?
elena55 [62]
Drawing it out, as seen, using the Pythagorean theorem we get that w^2+l^2 (with w=width and l=length)=diagonal^2=24^2+l^2=40^2. Subtracting 24^2 from both sides, we get 40^2-24^2=l^2=1024. Square rooting both sides, we get l=32. Since the perimeter is 2w+2l, we get 32*2+24*2=64+48=112
