Step-by-step explanation:
Hi.
You could use the percent change formula.
Since we know it is a percent increase then we will do new-old instead of old-new:
x is the new amount of shampoo.
16.5 is the original amount (old) of shampoo.
The percent increase is 30%=0.30 .
So we have the following equation:
We could have found the equation like this:
Subtract 16.5 on both sides:
Divide both sides by 16.5:
By us of symmetric property of equality:
Answer:
(a) The largest square side is 24 inches
(b) No. of pieces are 14
Step-by-step explanation:
As per the question:
The dimensions of the fabric are
(a)To calculate the side length of the largest square piece, we need to find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the dimensions as:
Therefore,
The GCF of the dimensions =
Therefore, the largest side of a square that can be cut from the fabric is 24 inches.
(b) The no. of pieces of 24 inches that can be cut from the fabric can be given as:
No. of pieces =
No. of pieces = = 14
