Hello there! To solve types of questions like these, we can write and solve a proportion. We are looking for the percentage of 380 out of 863.6. Let's set up the proportion like this: 380/863.6 = x/100. Cross multiply the values in order to get 38,000 = 863.6x. Now, divide each side by 863.6 to isolate the "x". 38,000/863.6 is 44.00185271 or 44 when rounded to the nearest whole number. 380 is appox. 44% of 863.6.
The answer your looking for here is 1
<em>P = a + b + c = 49 cm</em>
<em>a = b + 7 => b = a - 7</em>
<em>a = c - 5 => c = a + 5</em>
<em>_____________________</em>
<em>a + (a - 7) + (a + 5) = 49</em>
<em>3a = 49 + 7 - 5</em>
<em>3a = 51 </em>
<em>a = 17 cm</em>
<em>b = 17 - 7 = 10 cm</em>
<em>c = 17 + 5 = 22 cm</em>
