The increase in price is 140% of the original price.
The original price was 100% of the original price since 100% is a whole quantity.
Now the new price is 140% more than it was, so the new price is
100% + 140% of the old price.
100% + 140% = 240%

Now we find 240% of $50.
To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number.

240% of $50 =
= 240% * $50
= 2.4 * $50
= $120

Answer: 10 ft of gold wire now costs $120
Gold wire now costs $12 per foot.

What is the length of the diagonal of a rectangle
Fed [463]

A diagonal of a rectangle cuts the rectangle into 2 right triangles with sides equal to the sides of the rectangle and with a hypotenuse that is the diagonal. All you need to do is use the pythagorean theorem: where a and b are the sides of the rectangle and c is the length of the diagonal.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

the mean is calculated as

mean = \frac{sum}{count}

this year's mean = \frac{7+3.3+2}{3} = \frac{12.3}{3} = 4.1

last year's mean = \frac{5.3+1.6+2.4}{3} = \frac{9.3}{3} = 3.1

difference = 4.1 - 3.1 = 1
