It would be a 12% decrease. 0.88 is 88% (multiply by 100 to find the percentage) of the original price (x, which is 100%). as an example, say x=1000. 

0.88(1000)=880

880 is 88% of 1000, but the original price did not decrease by 88%/$880. Instead subtract this percentage from 100. 

100%-88%=12% 

there, you find the percentage lost/the percentage of the value decrease.

The width of a rectangle is 3 3 feet longer than two times its length, and its area is 27 27 . If you use L L to represent the l
Nady [450]

Answer:

The expression representing the width is 3+2L

The width is 9ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Length×width

A = L × W...(1)

Let the length be represented as L

Since the width of the rectangle is 3feet longer than two times its length, this is expressed as:

First, width is twice as long as the length i.e W = 2L

If the resulting width is now 3 feet longer, the final width of the rectangle will be expressed as:

W = 3+2L...(2)

Area (A) = 27ft

Substituting equation 2 into 1, we have;

A = L(3+2L)

A = 3L+2L²

27 = 3L+2L²

2L²+3L-27 = 0

Factorizing the resulting equation

(2L²+9L)-(6L-27) = 0

L(2L+9)-3(2L+9) = 0

L-3 = 0 and 2L+9 = 0

L = 3 and L = -9/2

Disregarding the negative value and substituting L = 3 into equation 2 to get the width

W = 3+2(3)

W = 3+6

W = 9ft
