\textit{area of a rectangle}\\\\ A=Lw ~~ \begin{cases} L=length\\ w=width\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ L=a+5\\ w=a-2\\ A=60 \end{cases}\implies 60=(a+5)(a-2) \\\\\\ 60=\stackrel{F~O~I~L}{a^2+3a-10}\implies 0=a^2+3a-70 \\\\\\ 0=(a+10)(a-7)\implies a= \begin{cases} -10\\\\ 7 ~~ \textit{\LARGE \checkmark} \end{cases}

notice, we didn't use the negative value, valid though as it is, because in this case "a" can't be negative.

81 is 37.5% of what number?
laila [671]

Hi,

81 is 37.5% of 216.

"1. We assume, that the number 37.5 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.  

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.  

3. If 100% equals 37.5, so we can write it down as 100%=37.5.  

4. We know, that x% equals 81 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=81.  

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=37.5

2) x%=81

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

100%/x%=37.5/81

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 81 is what percent of 37.5

100%/x%=37.5/81

(100/x)*x=(37.5/81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=0.46296296296296*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.46296296296296) to get x

100/0.46296296296296=x  

216=x  

x=216                          "

Have a great day!
