Challenge Yossi used to have a square garage with 246 ft of floor space. recently built an addition to it. The garage is still a

​ square, but now it has​ 50% more floor space. What was the length of one side of the garage​ originally? What is the length of one side of the garage​ now? What was the percent increase in the length of one​ side?

Considering the perimeter of a square, it is found that:

  • The length of one side of the garage​ originally was of 61.5 ft.
  • The length of one side of the garage​ now is of 92.25 ft.
  • The percent increase in the length of one​ side was of 50%.

<h3>What is the perimeter of a square?</h3>

The perimeter of a square of side length s is given by four times the length, that is:

P = 4s.

Before the change, the perimeter was of 246 ft, hence:

4s = 246

s = 246/4

s = 61.5.

The length of one side of the garage​ originally was of 61.5 ft.

After that, the perimeter increased by 50%, hence:

P = 246 x 1.5 = 369.

4s = 369

s = 369/4

s = 92.25.

The length of one side of the garage​ now is of 92.25 ft.

The percent increase is the increase divided by the initial value, hence:

(92.25 - 61.5)/61.5 = 50%.

The percent increase in the length of one​ side was of 50%.

A) 1/3=33 1/3%
B) 2/3=66 2/3%
C) 1/6=16 2/3%

A) YOU CAN TURN THE FRACTION 1/3 INTO A DECIMAL WHICH WILL BE AROUND 0.333. THEN YOU TURN THE DECIMAL INTO A PERCENT. YOU CAN MOVE THE DECIMAL TWO PLACES TO THE RIGHT. THAT GIVES YOU 33.3% OR 33 1/3% THIS ALSO APPLIES TO B BUT WITH 0.666 AND 66.6%

FOR C, YOU DO THE SAME. 1/6 AS A DECIMAL IS 1.666. YOU MOVE THE DECIMAL TWO PLACES TO THE RIGHT. 16.6% OR 16 2/3%

This is not an Equation! this is an Sentence in Al Jebra!
but you means : if 3ax+b=c, then x =?
3ax=c-bX = x= \frac{c-b}{3a}
