Answer: b.14
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two shelves, the top shelf
and the bottom shelf
.
Now, firstly we are told the top shelf has 10 more than 1/3 the number of books on the bottom shelf. This can be expressed as:
(1)
Then, we are told there are 12 books on the bottom shelf:
(2)
Substituting (2) in (1):
(3)
(4)
(5) This is the number of books on the top shelf
Hence, the correct option is b.
I believe the answer is 0.25
Lets say the base is x and the height is y. The new base would be 1.2x and the new height would be 1.3y
Area of a triangle is base times height divided by 2:
1.2x*1.3y/2 = (1.2*1.3 + x*y)/2 = 1.56xy/2 = 0.78xy = 78% of xy
But a normal area would be 50% of xy
78% - 50% = 38%
ANSWER: 38% increase
