Answer:
66.6%
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one
given
A coat at a store is originally priced at $54.99
The store marks down the price down to $32.99
Required
the percent decrease
Step two:
the percent decrease= change in price/ old price*100
the percent decrease= 54.99-32.99/54.99*100
the percent decrease= 22/ 32.99*100
the percent decrease= 0.666*100
the percent decrease= 66.6%
Suppose the length of the card board was x cm by x cm
After squares of 4cm was cut from the corner, the dimension for the box will be:
length=(x-8) cm
width=(x-8) cm
height=4 cm
thus the volume will be:
V=length*width*height
V=4×(x-8)×(x-8)=144
x²-16x+64=36
this can be simplified to form a quadratic equation given by:
x²-16x+28=0
solving the quadratic equation we get:
x=2 or x=14
Thus we conclude that the original dimensions was:
length=14 cm ; width=14 cm
