Answer:

1.46%

Step-by-step explanation:

Pretend you have a number as a test dummy. We'll go with 100 for simplicity. A 14% increase to 100 would be 114. Then we can decrease 114 by 11%. We can find 11% of 114 with an equation like so: x/114 = 11/100. We can then cross multiply to get this" 100x = 1254, which can be simplified to x=12.54. Now, we can subtract 12.54 from 114, which will get us 101.46. Because percentage is based on 100, we can simply subtract 100 from 101.46, which gives us 1.46. So, the answer is 1.46%.

Using the information in the customer order, determine the length and width of the garden. Enter the dimensions. ↓

SashulF [63]

Answer:

Length: 14 feet Width: 1 foot

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the only way to have a rectangle that has a perimeter of 30 feet, and an area of 14 feet.

For perimeter:

14 + 14 = 28

1 + 1 = 2

2 + 28 = 30

These dimensions have a perimeter of 30.

For area:

14 x 1 = 14

These dimesnions also have an area of 14.

So, 14 and 1 are the correct dimensions!
