The percent of change will be a percentage increase because we go from a smaller number to a larger number. To find a percentage increase, we will use the percentage increase formula:
% increase = final value - original value / original value x 100
Substituting the values in:
% increase = (8,200) - (7,500) / 7,500 x 100, where 8,200 is the new value and 7,500 is the original value.
Simplification after multiplication: 700 / 7,500 x 100
Simplification after division: 0.093 x 100
Simplification after multiplication of 100: 9.333%.
We can round 9.333% down to 9%.
Step-by-step explanation:
there is something wrong with your question.
there is no parallelogram with 8 and 6 ft side lengths that has an area of 54 ft².
the maximum area of a parallelogram with 8 and 6 ft side lengths is 48 ft². and that is a rectangle 8×6 as a special form of a parallelogram.
the area of any parallelogram is calculated
Ap = base length × height
and height is the length of the line perpendicular to the base line to one of the corners on the opposite side (as long as the base line).
if Ap = 54, and the base length is 8, this means
54 = 8 × height
height = 54/8 = 6.75 ft
but the height can only be the length of a side connected to the base line or less. not longer.
and in our example here, this connected side is 6. so, the height can only be 6 or less. not 6.75.
so, there must be something wrong with your numbers.
once you get the actual numbers, use my approach above with them (replace whatever number is wrong here by the true value).
No because if you look at it flipped and do 100/4=25 then 100/5= 20 so 20 and 25 aren’t the same
