Let the pension before increase be x.

When it was increased by 2%, that means became (100% + 2%) = 102% = 102/100 = 1.02

When the factor of 1.02 was applied it became £78.03

x*1.02 = 78.03

x = 78.03/1.02

x = 76.5

So the pension before the increase was £76.50 

Hope this helped.

15-29=
Dominik [7]

Answer:

15-29= -14

(I need the explanation most importantly)

14+(-4) - 8 =10-8=2

(Explanation please)

-8.4 - (19.5.) = - 27.9, (just add them to each other and write -, because both have - in front of them)

(Explanation)

-15 + 8 - (-19.7) = - 7+19,7=12,7 (there is + and - so it will became - 7, and at next there is two - which will turn them into +)

(Explanation)

29.45 - 56.009 - 78.2=−104,759 (all you have to is to put them all together, and than make it 29.45 less, writing - in front of them)

(Explanation)

LAST ONE

45.9 - (-9.2) + 5= 45.9+9.2+5=55.1+5=60.1 (because when there is 2 minus next to each other it will became plus)

All the sides of a hexagon become three times the original length. find the ratio of areas of the new and old hexagons.
Anastaziya [24]
To determine the ratio, we need to know the formula of the area of an hexagon in terms of the length of its sides. We cannot directly conclude that the ratio would be 3, the same as that of the ratio of the lengths of the side, since it may be that the relationship of the area and length is not equal. The area of a hexagon is calculated by the expression:

A = (3√3/2) a^2

So, we let a1 be the length of the original hexagon and a2 be the length of the new hexagon.

A2/A1 = (3√3/2) a2^2 / (3√3/2) a1^2
A2/A1 = (a2 / a1)^2 = 3^2 = 9

Therefore, the ratio of the areas of the new and old hexagon would be 9.
