Answer:
Let's call the side of square b x. Therefore, the side of square a is 0.5x, making its area 0.25x² and the area of square b is x². This means that the percentage is 25%.
Answer: the answer is blue
Step-by-step explanation:
Decreased by 25%
find 25% of 12 and decrease 12 by it
percent means parts out of 100
25%=25/100=1/4
'of' means multiply
25% of 12=1/4 times 12=3
decrease 12 by 3
12-3=9
answer is 9
The answer here is C. The sign of the factors are both positive. We can use the FOIL method as reference in determining the sign of the factors. The 3rd term C is positive; therefore our only option is either both negative or both positive. Looking the middle term, which is positive, we know that the middle term is the sum of the outer and inner in FOIL method, which means, signs of the factors must be both positive
