Answer:
60 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
because 8x5 is 40
and 10 x 10 is 100
100- 40 = 60 ft
Because there was a pay rise, we can write the equation as x+0.04x = 24.492 and solve for x.
x+0.04x = 24.492
1.04x = 24.492
x=23.55
His original pay was £23.55
The area is found by multiplying the length by the width.
The original area = 60 x 40 = 2,400 square feet
He wants to make it 1/2 that size, so the new size would be 2,400 / 2 = 1,200 square feet.
To find the length divide the new area by the new width:
1,200 / 30 = 40
The new length should be 40 feet.
For this case we have the following expression:
Factoring the expression we have:
We now cancel similar terms:
Finally, simplifying the expression we have:
Answer:
You would take 125/100 times x(last year's wage) and that should = $10.50 so that would be:
1.25x=10.50
x=10.50/1.25
x=$8.40
