Increasing by N% means the new value is 1+N/100 as much as the old value. So, we have
new = old*(1+1)(1+1.5) = 5.00 * old
so, old = new/5 or 20%
The inequality is: x*0.75 + 3.00 < 20.00, where x represents the number of miles. When you solve the inequality, you get 22.66 miles. When you round up to 23 miles, you don't satisfy the inequality, so you have to round down to 22 miles.
Answer: (C) 22 miles
We have an equation: 27/?= 36/100
Cross multiply:
36*?= 27*100
⇒ ?= 27*100/36= 75
36% of 75 is 27~
Your answer would be 104 in^2
You would cut the shape to make both rectangles separate, then you would find the area of those rectangles and add them together to get the total area.
1st Rectangle- 12 x 7= 84in
2nd Rectangle- 5 x 4= 20in
84 + 20= 104in^2
Hope this helps :)
