if we take 4100 to be the 100%, what is 870 off of it in percentage?
To find the sale price<span> we can set up a proportion. 25/100 = </span>x<span>/48. We keep the 100 and 48 both on the bottom of the fraction since they </span>represent<span> the "whole". </span>x represents<span> the </span>discount<span> off the </span>full price<span> of the dress. To solve this proportion, we cross multiply, yielding 48 * 25 = 100x. Alternatively, </span>if<span> you notice that 25/100 ...</span>
The area needed is at least 170.5 ft².
Let w = the width of the rectangular area.
Because the length is 15.5 ft, therefore the calculated area should be at least 170.5 ft². That is
(15.5 ft)*(w ft) ≥ 170.5 ft²
w ≥ 170.5/15.5
w ≥ 11 ft
Answer: w ≥ 11 ft
