Answer:
- 2x + y
- 3 x - 2y
- -1
2(3 x - 2y) = -6x + 4y
2x + y + -6x + 4y + -1 = -4x + 5y -1
Answer is $240.00 because 2% of $4000 is 80. Multiply 80 by 3 years and you get $240.00
The best way to do this is to make up values for the sides.
Say the lengths of square B's sides are each 4 cm. That means A's sides are 2 cm.
So, the area of square B is 4^2 = 16 cm^2, and A's area is 4 cm^2. We can see the shaded area is half of A, so it's 2 cm^2.
What percent of 16 is 2?
2 / 16 * 100 = 12.5%
