He is incorrect because he multiplied the bases.
12 x 16 = 192. So, the room is 192 square feet.
Answer:
$2147.85
Step-by-step explanation:
199.5*.5=99.75
199.5+99.75=299.25
299.25*.3=89.775
299.25-89.775=209.475
209.475*.04=8.279
209.475+8.379=217.854
If you need further help on how they got the answer, this equation will take more time, but it will also help you understand these types of problems. Part÷Whole=Percent÷100
Part= X because it is what you are trying to find.
Whole=250 because it is what you are taking the percentage of.
Percent=80
Now you have:
X÷250=80÷100
Set this up in fraction form and cross multiply.
You get:
100x=250×80
250×80=20,000
100x=20,000
X=200
