hi,
Express the ratios in fractional form, that is
= ( cross- multiply )
y + 3 = k(y + 5) ← distribute
y + 3 = ky + 5k ( subtract ky from both sides )
y - ky + 3 = 5k ( subtract 3 from both sides )
y - ky = 5k - 3 ← factor out y from each term on the left side
y(1 - k) = 5k - 3 ← divide both sides by (1 - k)
y = 5k- 3
____
1 - k
Number 1 is twenty and number two is fifty six
ANSWER

EXPLANATION
The given fraction is,

To get an equivalent fraction, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same quantity that will give us
w²+w-20
in the denominator.
This implies that,

We multiply out the numerators and denominators using the distributive property to obtain,

This simplifies to
total = 2372* (1+0.045)^20=
2372*1.045^20=
2372 * 2.411714025= 5720.585
she will have 5720.59 in 20 years
The best way to do this is to make up values for the sides.
Say the lengths of square B's sides are each 4 cm. That means A's sides are 2 cm.
So, the area of square B is 4^2 = 16 cm^2, and A's area is 4 cm^2. We can see the shaded area is half of A, so it's 2 cm^2.
What percent of 16 is 2?
2 / 16 * 100 = 12.5%
