Hi there!
10% as a decimal is 0.1
To find the decimal of a percentage, just divide the percentage by 100.
10/100 = 1/10 = 0.1
I hope this helps!
To simplify a ratio, whatever you do to the bottom, you must do to the top. Find the GCF of both numbers, then divide until you can no longer simplify. I showed my work on a sheet of paper for a visual look.

The shaded region is a parallelogram.
The formula for the area of any parallelogram is

.
The base of the parallelogram is 2 meters long (given).
The height of the parallelogram is 9 meters (do not be fooled by the unnecessary information of 14 meters)
The height is 9 meters because the height has to be perpendicular to the base. Thus, the side length must be 9 meters.
Multiply them together.

The area of the parallelogram is 18 square meters.
Answer:
Milk $3.60
Water $1.80
Chips $0.90.
Step-by-step explanation:
If w = cost of 1 bottle of water, m = cost of 1 gal of milk and c cost of 1 bag of chips we have.
4m + 6w + 5c = 29.7
Also we have w = 2c and m = 1.8 + w.
From the first equation we have c = w/2.
So substituting for c and m in the initial equation we have:
4(1.8 + w) + 6w + 5(w/2) = 29.7
7.2 + 4w + 6w + 2.5w = 29.7
12.5w = 22.5
w = 1. 80.
So c = w/2 = 1.8/2 = 0.90.
and m = 1.8 + 1.8 = 3.60.
