To find a percentage of a number we multiply the percentage times the number and get the result, here we have the percentage and the result and need to find out which number it corresponds to, lets write an equation to do so and keep in mind that the percentage itself can be written in a different way:
225% = 225 out of 100 = 225/100
So we have this equation, where we call x the number we are looking for:
<span>(225%)(x) = 81
</span>(225/100)(x) = 81
so we solve for x:
225x = 81*100 = 8100
x = 8100/225
x = 36
The original number is 36, hence 225% of 36 is 81
What is the question? What do I do with this information
Answer:
16.5 ft by 25.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the width of the garden in feet. Then w+9 is the garden's length, and w(w+9) represents its area.
The surrounding walkway adds 8 feet to each dimension, so the total area of the garden with the walkway is ...
(w+8)(w+9+8) = w^2 +25w +136
If we subtract the area of the garden itself, then the remaining area is that of the walkway:
(w^2 +25w +136) - (w(w+9)) = 400
16w + 136 = 400 . . .simplify
16w = 264 . . . . . . . . subtract 136
264/16 = w = 16.5 . . . . . width of the garden in feet
w+9 = 25.5 . . . . . . . . . . .length of the garden in feet
Answer:
none of the given answers make sense, the answer would be 4,200
