First you gotta look for the value of the 25% in the 40$ So it will be
25&=0.25
0.25x40=10
Now all you gotta do it’s
40-10=30
You subtract becaus le they ask you to find the price before it was increased so that why you gotta subrtract it

Answer:

A = 23.6 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the base be 8 (as shown).

Find the height of the triangle:   Find the supplement of the 100 degree angle; it is (180 - 100), or 80 degrees.  The side "opposite" this 80-degree angle is the height of the triangle:

   

                               height      

sin 80 degrees = ---------------

                                    6

and so the height of the triangle is h = 6 sin 80 degrees, or 5.91 units.

The area of the triangle is found using A = (1/2)(base)(height), which here amounts to:

A = (1/2)(8 units)(5.91 units), or

                                                       A = 23.64 units^2, or A = 23.6 units^2
