Mathematics

Orlov [11]3 years ago

Alright, this is simple. You know what the new number is, 54. You know the original number was decreased by 40%. Your looking for the original number, X. So set up an equation.
x-.4x=54
When X stands by itself, it's perceived to value 1.00
1.00-.4x=54
(1.00-.4 [40%]=.6)
.6x=54

Divide both sides by .6 to eliminate everything else.
.6x/.6=54/.6

You get 90. Your original number was indeed 90.
To check it, we can do 90/40%, or 90/.4=54

~Hope this helps!

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

32 units squared

Step-by-step explanation:

This is kind of a weird shape, so split it into smaller shapes, in this case two triangles and a rectangle.  

Both of the triangles have a base of 8 and a height of 2.  Multiply the base and the height together, then divide by 2.  8*2/2 equals 8, so the area of each triangle is 8.

For the rectangle, the length is 2, and the width is 8.  Multiply the length and the width together to get 16.  

Finally, add the areas of all those smaller shapes together to get the area of the whole shape, 32 units squared.
