Option C:
Area of the remaining paper = (3x – 4)(3x + 4) square centimeter
Solution:
Area of the square paper =
sq. cm
Area of the square corner removed = 16 sq. cm
Let us find the area of the remaining paper.
Area of the remaining paper = Area of the square paper – Area of the corner
Area of the remaining = 
= 
Using algebraic formula: 

Area of the remaining paper = (3x – 4)(3x + 4) square centimeter
Hence (3x – 4)(3x + 4) represents area of the remaining paper in square centimeters.
To find new price after discount we are going to find 10% of $13,999.00, then subtract the discount amount from $13,999.00.
13,999.00 × ¹⁰/₁₀₀ = $1,399.90
13,999.00 - 1,399.90 = $12,599.10
Therefore, new price = $12,599.10
Answer:
a. 4 : 1
b. 2 students
c. 3 : 1
Step-by-step explanation:
a. There were 12 students who got a C and 3 students who got As. The ratio is therefore:
12 : 3
Take it to the lowest form by dividing both sides by 3:
= 4 : 1
b. There were 4 students with a D grade and 8 with a B. The ratio is:
= 4 : 8
Taken to the lowest form that would be:
= 1 : 2
This means that for every student receiving a D, 2 students received an A.
c. 12 students received a C and 4 students received a D. That ratio is therefore:
= 12 : 4
Take to the lowest form by dividing both sides by 4:
= 3 : 1
