Answer:

Mr. Porter's claim was not correct and it will be a 21% increment.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the house when Mr. Porter bought the house was d.

The present value of the house is given by d + 0.21d = 1.21d.

Hence, the increase in the value of the house is 0.21 d and the final value of the house is 1.21d.

So, if Mr. Porter claims that the value of his house has increased by 121%, then his claim is wrong. The increase in value is only by 0.21d i.e. by 21% and after this increment, the value becomes 1.21d i.e. 121%.

Therefore, his claim is not correct and it will be a 21% increment. (Answer)

A triangle has an area of 35 square inches. the length of one of the sides it 10 inches. what is the length of the perimeter? in
Serggg [28]
The perimeter would be about 34.4 because if you choose the bottom side to be ten, by multiplying 35 by 2 to get 70 you can divide by 10 to get 7. Since you know the height and width, you can use pythagorean theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Plug in the numbers you have 10^2+7^2=c^2. c^2=149, so if you square root 149 you will get a irrational number but when rounded you get 12.2- so that is one side multiply by 2 and get 24.4- and add 10 to get 34.4

Solve the proportional equation below:<br> 3/m=6/7
labwork [276]

Answer:

m = \frac{7}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{3}{m} = \frac{6}{7} ( cross- multiply )

6m = 21 ( divide both sides by 6 )

m = \frac{21}{6} = \frac{7}{2} ( = 3.5 in decimal form )
