What is the question? if you are looking for the sides 2 sides are 40 and the other 2 are 20.
There are four properties of multiplication namely commutative, associative, multiplicative identity and distributive. The equation given defines the commutative property of multiplication where two numbers are multiplied, the product will still be the same no matter what is the order of the multiplicands.
P-0.40p = 0.60p
C. Decrease by 40% is the same as multiply by 60%.
Assume that p = 10
10 - 0.40(10) = 0.60(10)
10 - 4 = 6
6 = 6
Based on the above assumption. 40% of 10 is 4 ; and 60% of 10 is 6. So, 10 less 4(40% of 10) is equal to 6 (60% of 10).
Percentage is used because 0.40 and 0.60 will be multiplied with 100% to get the equivalent percentage 0.40 x 100% = 40% ; 0.60 x 100% = 60%
Answer:
If I am not mistaken, I believe the answers are 1.425 and 17.57, so A and D.
