Answer:

The youngest child will receive $2000

Step-by-step explanation:

A father decided to give 25% of his monthly income to his three children as their monthly allowance.

The eldest child got 45% of the allowance and the youngest got 20%. This means that the second child got:

100 - (45 + 20) = 100 - 65 = 35%

The second child received $3500.

Let the 25% of his monthly income be x.

Hence:

35% of x = 3500

=> \frac{35}{100} * x = 3500

x = \frac{3500 * 100}{35}

x = $10000

The amount the man shared among his children is $10000.

Hence, the youngest child (20%) will receive:

20% of $10000

\frac{20}{100} * 10000

= $2000

The youngest child will receive $2000.

PLEASE HELP ASAP! WILL GIVE BRAINLEIST!<br> Find the area of the shaded region. Use pi = 3.14
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Square

The side length of the square = 8 cm

The area of the square = s^2

The area of the square = 8^2 = 64

Circle

r = d/2

r = 8/2

r = 4

Area of the circle = pi r^2

Area of the circle = 3.14 * 16

Area of the circle = 50.24

Shaded Area

Area of the Shaded area = area Square - Area Circle

                                          = 64 - 40.24

                                          = 23.76

The base of a trinagle is increased by 20% and it’s height is increased by 30%. By what percent is the area of the triangle incr
Molodets [167]

Lets say the base is x and the height is y. The new base would be 1.2x and the new height would be 1.3y

Area of a triangle is base times height divided by 2:

1.2x*1.3y/2 = (1.2*1.3 + x*y)/2 = 1.56xy/2 = 0.78xy = 78% of xy

But a normal area would be 50% of xy

78% - 50% = 38%

ANSWER: 38% increase
