Given that the number is x,
10% increase will give us a new number of:
110/100*x
=1.1x
10% decrease will give us a new number of:
90/100*1.1x
=0.99x
This implies the new number is less than the original number
Breaking apart means that you just take the tens from each number, and the ones from each number, then add them up.
The tens from your numbers are:
30 from 34
40 from 45
The ones from your numbers are:
4 from 34
5 from 45
Now, you have to add up the tens and ones separately.
30 + 40 = 70
4 + 5 = 9
Finally, you add up those 2 numbers that you got- 70 and 9

Answer: The carpenter will need 84 square inches of wood.
In this problem we are looking for the surface area of the jewelry box. This box has 5 faces. The two triangles at each end and the 3 rectangle pieces between them.
The sides of the triangles are 3, 4, 5 which always forms a right triangle with legs of 3 and 4. Use the formula for the area of a triangle, we have 3 x 4 / 2 = 6. The area of each triangle is 6 square inches.
Now, the three sides, each one has a height of 6.
3 x 6 = 18
4 x 6 = 24
5 x 6 = 30
If we add all the sides together, we get an area of 84 square inches.
6 + 6 + 18 + 24 + 30 = 84
