length = 4 yards and width = 3.5 yards
let width be w then length is 2w - 3
area = w(2w - 3) = 14 (rearrange in standard form )
2w² - 3w - 14 = 0 ← in standard form
(2w - 7 )(w + 2 ) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for w
2w - 7 = 0 ⇒ w = 3.5
w + 2 = 0 ⇒ w = - 2
but w > 0, hence w = 3.5
width = 3.5 yards and length = (2 × 3.5 ) - 3 = 4 yards
Multiply 6 by $16.50 to get the total amount = $99
now to get the percentage discount : 99-90 (which is the difference) / 99 (original price of what it should have been )
and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage discount
All you have to do is multiply 84 by 25%
And that's your answer.
I hope this helped
Answer:
100 is 40% of 250
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We assume, that the number 250 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 250, so we can write it down as 100%=250.
4. We know, that x% equals 100 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=100.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=250
2) x%=100
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=250/100
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for 100 is what percent of 250
100%/x%=250/100
(100/x)*x=(250/100)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5) to get x
100/2.5=x
40=x
x=40
now we have:
100 is 40% of 250
