So to solve you need to set up equations, Using h as the height. So the base is 9 inches more (+9) than 3 times the height (3h) so 3h+9 equals the base. You have the area so you need to plug in the equation for the base and h for height and divide it all by 2. h(3h+9)/2=105. after you solve that and get h by itself you should get h= 7 and the b= 30
Since there are two halves in a whole, you can times each number by 2 to get the number of halves it has.
12*2=24
10*2=20
13*2=26
15*2=30
8*2=16
5*2=10
The correct answer is three.
Answer:
32.4
Step-by-step explanation:
prior + 8.1 = 40.5 . . . . . . seems to model the problem statement
prior = 32.4 . . . . . . . subtract 8.1 from both sides
Prior to the increase the percent was 32.4.

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>
When you're talking about a percentage increase in a percentage, it is almost never clear whether you're talking about the percentage of the underlying number, or the percentage of the percentage.
Here, we assume the 8.1 is a percentage of working students, not a percentage of the percentage of workings students. If you actually intend the latter, the percentage before the increase was about 37.465%.
