A $40 jacket is on sale for 30% off what is the sale price

1 answer:

7 0

So 40=100%
find 100%-30%=70%
70% of 40
'of' can be translated to multiply
70% times 40
percent means parts out of 100 so
70%=70/100=7/10=0.7
so
.7 times 40=28
the sale price=$28

a rectangular garden is 30 ft by 40 ft. Part of the garden is removed in order to install a walkway of uniform width around it.

Stels [109]

Answer:

The wide of the walkway is 5ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

In first place you have a rectangular garden of 30ft by 40 ft as shown in Figure 1 (Added file).

So, the area of this rectangle is:

$Area of rectangle = width * length = 30ft * 40ft =1200ft$

Area=1200ft

Now, the new garden has a walkway of uniform width around it, and the area of the new rectangle is one-half the area of the old garden

$Area of the new garden= \frac{1200}{2} =600ft$

In order to be a walkway of uniform width it's necessary to substract of each side the same amount, for this case will be 5 ft, as shown in the Figure 2. Now the new rectangule is 20ft by 30ft.

$Areaofthenewrectangle=20ft*30ft=600ft$
