Answer:
A = $100(1.12)^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard formula for compound interest is given as;
A = P(1+r/n)^(nt) .....1
Where;
A = final amount/value
P = initial amount/value (principal)
r = rate yearly
n = number of times compounded yearly.
t = time of investment in years
For this case;
P = $100
t = 2years
n = 1
r = 12% = 0.12
Substituting the values, we have;
A = $100(1+0.12)^(2)
A = $100(1.12)^2
x= length, y=width
Both the length and width were increased by 60% so now they are:
1.6x and 1.6y
Then they were both reduced by 25% so now they are 75%(100-25) of their previous size so they are:
0.75(1.6x) and 0.75(1.6y)
Their area would be length * width so it would be:
0.75(1.6x) * 0.75(1.6y)
Simplified this would be:
1.2x * 1.2y
Simplified more it would be :
1.44xy which is also 144% of xy which is a 44% increase of the original area (xy)
So the answer is:
44%
