Samuel pays $20 for a shirt that is on sale. If he saved $5, what is the percent of the discount?

1 answer:

7 0

Hi Kyliebreland!
So, If he saved $5 then we do $20 divided by $5 which gives 4 so now we split 100% into 4 pieces which gives us 25%.
Hope this helps!

Mario is constructing a square dart board. It will consist of a smaller square centered in a larger square. The smaller square m

Ivan

Answer:

6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent side length of larger square.

We know that area of square is square of its side length, so area of the larger square will be $a^2$ .

The area of smaller square would be $4^2$ .

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

$\frac{\text{Area of smaller square}}{\text{Area of larger square}}=\frac{4}{9}$

$\frac{4^2}{a^2}=\frac{4}{9}$

$\frac{16}{a^2}=\frac{4}{9}$

Cross multiply:

$4*a^2=16*9$

$\frac{4*a^2}{4}=\frac{16*9}{4}$

$a^2=36$

Take square root:

$a=\pm\sqrt{36}$

$a=\pm 6$

Since the length cannot be negative, therefore, the side length of larger square is 6 inches.
