This can be done algebraically:
300*x=330 Where x is the multiplier
Therefore x=330/300=1.1
To find a percentage of a number you multiply by the percentage divided by 100.
So 330 is 110% of 300, which is an increase of 10%.
Amount of tax on the book (s) is $0.72
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Given 6/100 = s/12
- Step 2: Cross multiply to solve for s
⇒ 6 × 12 = 100 × s
⇒ 72 = 100s
⇒ s = 72/100 = 0.72
The second one is the correct answer
The correct answer is the first choice. You can determine which angles are congruent by looking at the corresponding angles (angles that are in the same position) on the similar trapezoids). The angles would be congruent even though the shapes are not the same size.
