How about this (see attached image):

Use the four cuts as shown in the image (red lines).

Then assemble 5 equal squares by the numbers: 1 center square and the rest are pieced together using two pieces as shown. All five together add up to the same area as original square because we use all pieces.

The way one gets a hint toward a solution is to see how an area of a square of length 1 can be split into 5 equal square areas:

1^2 = 5\cdot x^2\\x = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{5} = \sqrt{\frac{2^2}{5^2}+\frac{1^2}{5^2}}

which indicates we need to find a a triangle with sides 2 and 1 to get the hypotenuse of the right length. That gave rise to the cut pattern (if you look carefully, there are triangles with those side lengths).

Karolina [17]
If you divide 2380 by 4, it will give you 10% of the whole:

1380/4=345

Then you can times 345 by 6 To find the 60%:

345*6=2070

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. The percentage increase of Magikarps is 100%.

<h3>What are Percentages?</h3>

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25 which is equal to 25%.

To convert a fraction to a percentage, convert the fraction to decimal form and then multiply by 100 with the '%' symbol.

Jose began the day with eight Magikarps. After spending the day at the lake, he ended up with sixteen Magikarps. Therefore, The percentage increase of Magikarps is,

Percentage increase = (16-8)/8 × 100% = 100%

Hence, The percentage increase of Magikarps is 100%.
