Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Sam divided a rectangle into 8 congruent rectangles that each have an area of
We need to find the area of the rectangle before Sam divided it.
The area of the rectangle before Sam divided is 8 times of the area of the congruent rectangles.
Area of the rectangle =
Area of the congruent rectangle is
So the area of the rectangle is
Area of the rectangle =
Area of the rectangle =
Therefore the area of the rectangle before divided is
Answer:
200 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
First hour he sold 15% <em>(remaining is 85%)</em>
Second hour he sold 20% of remaining <em>(which is 85%)</em> -- so he sold , which is 17% (remaining 85-17=68%)
Third hour he sold 25% of remaining <em>(which is 68%)</em> -- so he sold , which is 17%
