Question

A rectangular garden is 8 feet long and 4 feet wide. A second rectangular garden has dimensions that are 54 the dimensions of the first garden. What is the percent of change in perimeter from the first garden to the second garden?ftyrt

Answer 1

We have the perimeter of first dimension 2(8 + 4) = 24;
The perimeter of the second dimension is 2( 8 + 54 + 4 + 54 ) = 240
We calculate p/100 = 24/240;
Then p/100 = 1/10;
p = 100/10;
p = 10;
Finally, 10% is the answer.
