Let x represent the worth of the professional basketball player's autograph a year ago. Since his autograph's worth increased by 40% now, $364 is 1.40x.
364 = 1.40x
Solving for x gives x = 260.
Thus, the autograph of the basketball player was worth only $260 last year.
Compound interest is the starting amount x (1+ the interest rate as a decimal)^ the time in years=the final amount.
In your case, the equation will be $1000*(1+0.10)^how many years= the final amount.

Step-by-step explanation:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Square Rug
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Area = Length x Length
Area = 6.3 x 6.3
Area = 39.69 ft²
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Rectangle Rug
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Area = Length x Width
Area = 4.8 x 8.2
Area = 39.36 ft²
39.69 ft² is bigger than 29.36 ft², so the square rug is bigger.
