The answer to the question is b
Answer:
44cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
（a+b)h/2
=(9+13)4/2
=22x4/2
=88/2
=44
The Area is 44 cm^2, so it's the first choice.
After solving simultaneously we found the values for x and y are
2.76 and 5.65 respectively
<h3>Simultaneous Equations</h3>
We have the following two expressions
7x – 2y = 34 --------1
3x + 5y = -3 ---------2
Multiply 1 by eqn 5 and eqn 2 by 2
35x - 10y = 170-------3
6x + 10y = -6 ----------4
subtracting 4 from 3 we have
29 x= 164
divide both sides by 29
x = 164/29
x = 5.65
Put x = 5.65 in eqn 1 to find y
7*5.65 – 2y = 34
39.55 - 2y = 34
39.55-34 = 2y
5.55 = 2y
divide both sides by 2
x = 5.55/2
x = 2.76

For this case you can solve the problem by applying a simple rule of three in which we have
520 ---> 100%
800 ---> x
Clearing x we have
x = (800/520) * 100 = 154%
the percentage increase in cost was
154-100 = 54%
answer
the percentage increase in cost was 54%
