Hi!
Now I can answer.
I used systems of equations That is how I solved it. Always remember to check your answer by plugging it back into the word problem. If you aren't comfortable with systems of equations then find some help in this area.
(.85x)1.25=y new line
x + 10=y new line
x=y-10 new line
(.85(y-10))1.25=y new line
(.85y-8.5)1.25=y new line
1.0625y-10.625=y new line
.0625y=10.625 new line
y=170 new line
x=160
Hope this helps!!

40 feet by 4 feet
Given length (l) = 100 feet
width (w) = 10 feet
As mentioned in the question the size of garden is decreased to 2/5 of its size. It will effect the length and width with the same proportion.
So,
New length = 100 * 2/5 = 40 feet
New width = 10 * 2/5 = 4 feet
Therefore, the scale of new drawing would be 40 feet by 4 feet
Notice, ending ends makes it easeier
1+20=21
2+19=21
...
10+11=21
there are 10 pairs of numbers
they add to 21
10 times 21=210
the sum is 210
If we put all the seven slots and we caculate like this:
<span>12*11*10*9*8*7*6
Then the result will be 3,991,680
I hope this can help you </span>
