Please help! A parallelogram has an area of 396 square centimeters and a height of 18 centimeters.

1 answer:

7 0

The area formula for a parallelogram is base*height=area. Make an equation. You know the area and the height, so plug that into the equation, and you get x*18=396. Solve for x by dividing 396 by 18 and you get 22. So, the base is 22cm.

The price of a fan is $15. This price is 27% lower than last week.

Goshia [24]

The price of fan was 20 Dollars 55 cents last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

The price last week = x

As the price is 27% lower than last week, therefore

(100%-27%) * Price last week = $15

73% * x = 15

Solving the percentage;

$\frac{73}{100}*x=15\\ Multiplying\ both\ sides\ by\ 100\\100*\frac{73x}{100} = 15*100\\73x=1500\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 73\\\frac{73x}{73} = \frac{1500}{73} \\x= 20.55$
