My late response (haha): First, you would write a proportion.
Step 1: 2496 over 48 = x over 31
(x represents the area of the land that is not fenced).
Step 2: Cross multiply
2496 times 31 and x times 48
Step 3: Calculate
77376 = 48x
Step 4: Divide both sides by 48
77376/48 = 1612
48x/48 = x
Step 5: Write it as a sentence
The area of the land that is not fenced is 1612 squared meters.
Hope that helped! Good luck! :]
Number of sweaters bought by Jocelyn = 2
Price of the 2 sweaters including tax and discount coupon = 23.56
Amount of ales tax taken = 1.36
Amount of discount coupon = 5.00
Then
Price of 2 sweaters before tax = 23.56 - 1.36
= 22.20
Then
Price of the sweater before discount coupon was applied = 22.20 + 5.00
= 27.20
So
Price of 1 sweater before tax and coupon discount = 27.2/2
= 13.6
So the price of 1 sweater before tax and coupon discount is 13.6.
