Mathematics

With Calculator:
To work out the multiplier, take the percentage, divide by 100 and add 1
17.5% / 100 = 0.175
1 + 0.175 = 1.175
£50 x 1.175 = £58.75

Without Calculator:
First work out easy percentages of 50 (if needed use previous answers (such as 10) to work out smaller percentages (such as 5%))
100% = 50
10% = 5
5% = 2.5
2.5% = 1.25
10% + 5% + 2.5% = 17.5%
5 + 2.5 + 1.25 = £8.75
Add this on to the original price:
£50 + £8.75 = £58.75

The total price, including VAT, is £58.75

A rectangle has an area of 72 in². The length and the width of the rectangle are changed by a scale factor of 3.5. What is the a
kifflom [539]

Answer:

The area of the new rectangle is 882 in².

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l be the length and w be the width of the original rectangle,

So, the area of the original rectangle is,

A = l × w                  ( Area of a rectangle = Length × Width )

Given, A = 72 in²,

⇒ lw = 72 ------- (1),

Since, if the rectangle are changed by a scale factor of 3.5,

⇒ New length = 3.5 l,

And, new width = 3.5 w,

Thus, the area of the new rectangle = 3.5l × 3.5w

=(3.5)^2lw

=12.25\times 72  ( From equation (1) ),

= 882 in²
