<h3>Answer: Choice B) 122%</h3>

==========================================

Work Shown:

A = 1250 is the initial amount

B = 2780 is the new amount

C = percent change = unknown for now

The formula to use is

C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100

to calculate the percent change.

Basically we calculate the change (B-A) first and then divide that over the original amount A to compute the decimal form of the answer, which is then converted over to percentage form. The "100" tacked on at the end is what converts from decimal to percent form.

---------

C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100

C = [ (2780 - 1250)/1250 ] * 100

C = (1530/1250)*100

C = 1.224 * 100

C = 122.4%

C = 122%

---------

The positive C value indicates we have a percent increase. If C were negative, then we'd have a percent decrease.

Answer:

  0.4, 0.004, 0.004

Step-by-step explanation:

The "what" in each case is found by dividing the target value by 10. That is accomplished by moving the decimal point one place to the left.

4/10 = 0.4   ⇒   10 times 0.4 = 4

0.04 and .04 are exactly the same value, so the last two on your list are the same:

0.04/10 = 0.004   ⇒   10 times .004 = 0.04

The area of the deck is :
A ( deck ) = 8 * 27.63 = 221.04 ft²
The area of the sheet of wood:
A ( sheet ) = 4 * 8 = 32 ft²
221.04 : 32 = 6.9 ≈ 7 ( we need a whole number )
Answer: He should buy 7 sheets of wood to cover the surface of the deck.
