Divide $8.60 from $50.00= .172
%=100 move the decimal over 2 spaces for the zeros = 17.2%

<u>8.60</u> = <u> X </u>
50 100

"Percent" means "out of one hundred" (Latin).
Multiply the top by two, since 100 is twice 50, and the fractions will be equal.
The answer is 17.2%.

Find the area of the figure shown in the diagram to the nearest hundredth.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer: Choice C) 41.13 square meters

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This figure is a composition of two quarter-circles and a square

Area of quarter circle = (1/4)*(area of circle)
Area of quarter circle = (1/4)*(pi*r^2)
Area of quarter circle = (1/4)*(pi*4^2)
Area of quarter circle = (1/4)*(pi*16)
Area of quarter circle = (1/4)*16*pi
Area of quarter circle = 4pi
There are two quarter circles, so the two circular areas add to 4pi+4pi = 8pi

Area of square = s*s = 4*4 = 16 square meters

Add the square area to the circular area: 8pi+16

Now use a calculator to find 8pi+16 = 41.1327412287183 which rounds to 41.13
