Area of trapezoid : (Base 1 + base 2) x h x 1/2
Let's solve!
( 2+6) x 5 X1/2
= 40x1/2
=20
20 in squared is the area!
Answer:
80%
Step-by-step explanation:
Focus on the important parts of the problem:
The present salary is 25% more than the previous salary.
previous = % of present ?
<u>Use a mock/fake situation.</u> Let' say the previous salary is $100.
100 = % of present
Present salary is $100 increased by 25%.
$100 X 1.25 = $125
100 = % of 125
Solve this in decimal form (convert it to a percentage later).
Let x be the percentage in decimal form.
100 = 125x
100/125 = x Isolate "x" by dividing by sides by 125
x = 0.80
Convert 0.80 to percentage by multiplying by 100.
0.80 X 100 = 80%
When comparing two things using percentage, 100% is the same. Less than 100% is less and more than 100% is more.
Since his previous salary was less than his present salary, this answer makes sense.
Therefore his previous salary was 80% of his present salary.
The answer is B. 2(4) + 3(24) = 80
1(4) + 4(24) = 100
