5% of £42 = £2.10
10% of £42 = £4.20
15% of £42 = £6.30
£42 - £6.30 = £35.70
£50 - £35.70 = £14.30
the answer is £14.30
The answer to the problem is
y=1/2x
We are given with an 18 student class that is working a project worked by pairs. Each pair works on a project. In this case, there are 9 teams of 2 individuals working on a single project. Hence for a year or school year, there are 9 projects accomplished each time.
So you know that 30 + 30 + w + w = P. We also know the area is 240 square feet. Divide 240 by 30 to find the width of the area. 240 / 30 = 8. w = 8. So add 30 + 30 + 8 + 8 to find that P = 76. HOWEVER, remember that George is using part of his house as a wall instead of a fence. So subtract 8 from 76 to get 68 ft. George will need 68 ft. of fencing for his dog run.
