Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that the formula for the area of a rectangle is:
Where l is the our length and w is our width.
If we increase our length by 20%, this means that we add 20% or 0.2 of our old length to our old length. So, our new length will be:
Combine like terms:
Similarly, if we increase our width by 10%, this means that we add 10% or 0.1 of our old width to our old width. So, our new width is:
Combine like terms:
Therefore, our new area will be:
Substitute 1.2l and 1.1w. This yields:
Multiply:
Our old area is:
So, our area increased by a factor of 1.32.
This is the same as 32% of our old area.
So, our answer is D.
And we're done!
notice above, all we did, was isolate the "recurring part" to the right of the decimal point, so the repeating 09, ended up on the right of it.
now, let's say, "x" is a variable whose value is the recurring part, therefore then
now, the idea behind the recurring part is that, we then, once we have it all to the right of the dot, we multiply it by some power of 10, so that it moves it "once" to the left of it, well, the recurring part is 09, is two digits, so let's multiply it by 100 then,
and you can check that in your calculator.
