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.

Marjorie has a square tabletop whose area is 36 square feet. What is the tabletop’s perimeter?
mafiozo [28]
24. Since the area of a square is 36, it's best to figure out what the factors of 36 are.

The square root of 36 is going to be 6 so both factors are going to be six.

You don't have to worry about the side lengths being different because it's a square; therefore, the sides can't be uneven like a rectangle characteristically would.

When you divide a number by 1/2, the result is
Nikitich [7]
Let us analyze the following situation: The number we want to divide by 1/2 is X. We can write:
X/(1/2)=(X/1)/(1/2)=(X*2)/(1*1)= X*2,
which means that the number that is divided with 1/2 is multiplied by 2 (twice the original number).
