Answer:
.0147058824 OR rounded at the hundredths place is .01
The answer is 25%
(1)
If 64 is 100%, 48 is how much percent:
64 : 100% = 48 : x
x = 100% * 48 : 64
x = 75
(2)
Percent of decrease is:
100% - x = 100% - 75% = 25%
P = perimeter = 2L + 2W = 86 cm. Also, L = W + 4. Subst. W + 4 for L,
P = 2(W + 4) + 2W = 86 cm. Then 2W + 8 + 2W = 86 cm, and 4W = 78 cm.
Finally solving for W, W = (78 cm)/4, or 19.5 cm.
If W = 19.5 cm, then L = W + 4 cm = 19.5 cm + 4 cm = 23.5 cm
The rectangle's dimensions are 19.5 cm by 23.5 cm.
