First lets change the fractions so they have common denominators:
3/5 = 6/10
The bank was 1/10, after adding the pennies it was 6/10
6/10 - 1/10 = 5/10 = 1/2
This means 400 pennies filled 1/2 the piggy bank.
There are 2 halves (1/2) to a whole ( full piggy bank).
The piggy bank can hold 400 x 2 = 800 pennies.
Answer:
14

Percentage 42 / 1200 * 400
Answer:
➩ 2,250 envelopes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that, Nicole buys 125 envelopes per box for her home office.
Therefore, She will have 18*125 envelopes in all
So, 18*125 is 2,250 envelopes
36-4.5x+36=102-7.5x-60
72-4.5x=42-7.5x
72+3.5x=42
3.5x=-30
x=8.57
Let the width be x.
Length is 8 feet more than width. Length = x + 8
Area = x(x + 8)
width increased by 4, that is, (x + 4)
Length decreased by 5, (x + 8 - 5) = (x + 3)
Area = (x + 4)(x +3)
Area remains the same
x(x + 8) = (x+4)(x +3)
x² + 8x = x(x +3) + 4(x +3)
x² + 8x = x² +3x + 4x +12
x² + 8x = x² +7x +12 Eliminate x² from both sides
8x = 7x + 12
8x - 7x = 12
x = 12
Dimensions of original rectangle : x, x + 8
12, 12 +8 = 12, 20
Original rectangle is 20 feet by 12 feet
