With Calculator:
To work out the multiplier, take the percentage, divide by 100 and add 1
17.5% / 100 = 0.175
1 + 0.175 = 1.175
£50 x 1.175 = £58.75
Without Calculator:
First work out easy percentages of 50 (if needed use previous answers (such as 10) to work out smaller percentages (such as 5%))
100% = 50
10% = 5
5% = 2.5
2.5% = 1.25
10% + 5% + 2.5% = 17.5%
5 + 2.5 + 1.25 = £8.75
Add this on to the original price:
£50 + £8.75 = £58.75
The total price, including VAT, is £58.75
Long Piece: x + 18
Short Piece: x
(x) + (x + 18) = 84
2x + 18 = 84
2x = 66
x = 33
Long Piece: x + 18 = (33) + 18 = 51
Answer: 33 meters and 51 meters
195 is the answer because you replace x with 10
Step-by-step explanation:
825-630=195
