Answer: The dimesions will be decreased by 13.05%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, we have to calculate the original area.

Area of a rectangle = Length x width

Replacing with the values given:

A = 40x50 = 2000 ft2

Since is reduced to 1739. if we multiply the original area by a the percentage decrease, and subtract that value to the original area, we obtain 1739 ft2.

2000 - (2000x) = 1739

Solving for x

-2000x = 1739 -2000

-2000x = -261

x =-261/-2000

x = 0.1305

Multiply by 1000 to obtain the percentage:

0.1305 x 100 = 13.05%

Answer:

The difference in amount = $430

Step-by-step explanation:

1- Annual contract:

The annual contract means a contract for 12 months. There is a month penalty for breaking the lease.  

This means that, if you left after 8 months, you will have to pay for 10 month.

Total paid = monthly payment * 10

Total paid = 535 * 10 = $5350

2- Month-to-month contract:

You will only paid for the 8 months you stayed,

Total paid = monthly payment * 8

Total paid = 615 * 8 = $4920

3- Getting the difference:

We can note that a month-month contract is a better option if you intend to stay for only 8 months

Difference = 5350 - 4920 = $430

Hope this helps :)
