Answer: it already is.
Step-by-step explanation: The more pieces are cut, the smaller they get so the bigger the denominator, the bigger the piece
Use multipliers:
The normal price the shop would sell the racquet for is:
1.6 * 200 = 320
'1.6' is the multiplier that I got using the percentage. Multiplying a value by 1.6 is the same as increasing the value by 60%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the question, now we can use the multiplier 0.75 because we are are reducing the price by 25% (0.25 as a decimal), so:
320 * 0.75 = 240
And now we want just the profit so we take off how much it cost the shop to buy ($200): 240 - 200 = 40
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the rectangle = 33 inches sq
Area of a rectangle (formula) = l*b
let the width be x
length = 2 inches + 3x = 2+3x
Area of the rectangle = l*b = 2+3x + x
33 inches sq = 2+3x + x
33 in sq = 2+4x
33/2 = 4x
16.5/4 = x
x = 4.125
width= <u>4.125 inches</u>
length = 2+3x = 2+3(4.125) = <u>14.375</u>
<u></u>
(unless your poster is 32 sq inches and you made a mistake, just replace 33 with 32 and solve it)
