Answer:
y = 46
Step-by-step explanation:
Given y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is
y = 
← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition y = 23 when x = 8 , then
23 = 
( multiply both sides by 8 )
184 = k
y = 
← equation of variation
When x = 4 , then
y = 
= 46
x= length, y=width
Both the length and width were increased by 60% so now they are:
1.6x and 1.6y
Then they were both reduced by 25% so now they are 75%(100-25) of their previous size so they are:
0.75(1.6x) and 0.75(1.6y)
Their area would be length * width so it would be:
0.75(1.6x) * 0.75(1.6y)
Simplified this would be:
1.2x * 1.2y
Simplified more it would be :
1.44xy which is also 144% of xy which is a 44% increase of the original area (xy)
So the answer is:
44%
