Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to get the amount of change:

The amount of change can either be an increase or a decrease.

It can be calculated as follows:

amount of change = 

If the amount of change is positive, then it is an increase

If the amount of change is negative, then it is a decrease

Then, we need to convert this amount into a percentage:

Changing the amount into a percentage can simply be done by multiplying this amount by 100

This means that:

% of change = amount of change * 100

Combining the two steps:

% of change =  * 100

Examples:

The original price of a certain product was $10. It then became $12. Find the % of increase.

% of change =  = 20%

This means that the price increased by 20%

The temperature decreased from 25 degrees to 20 degrees. Find the percentage of decrease.

% of decrease =  = -20%

This means that the temperature decreased by 20%

Hope this helps :)

Heya!

Question #15:

To find the perimeter of the object, you can count the amount of squares that are on the outside of the object. After you country all around the object, the perimeters is 22 units (Option D)

Question #16:

Since we know the total perimeter, we can divide by the amount of sides a hexagon has because all of the sides are the same length. A hexagon has 6 sides. 42 / 6 = 7 inches (Option A)

Question #17:

To calculate the perimeter of the rectangle, you can add all the sides together. First, find common denominators.

6 1/2 = 6 2/4 and 3 1/4

Now, add all the sides together.

6 2/4 + 6 2/4 + 3 1/4 + 3 1/4 = 19 1/2 cm (Option B)

Question #18:

We can find the perimeter of the semi circle and square separately. Only take the perimeter of the square using 3 sides since the fourth sides is in the semi circle.

8 + 8 + 8 = 24 inches

Circumference of a semi circle formula: C = πd

C = (3.14)(8)

C = 25.12

Now, add both perimeters together.

24 + 25.12 = 49.12 inches (Option D)

Best of Luck!

Anettt [7]
The possibility of landing on yellow would be 8/72 times because 1/9=x/72.
9 times 8 is 72 so 8 times 1 is 8/72. 1/9 is from the 1+7+1=9. 1/9.
The answer is 8/72 or 1/9.
