Finding common denominators allows you to more easily get your answer for the problem. fractions are complex as it is if you have a denominator of 16 and 4 your immediate reaction would be to just subtract the process and answer would be completely wrong.
Let us set up an equation, to determine the list price. X represents the original price
.12 * x = 25
In order to solve for X, you must divide .12 from both sides
x = 25/.12
After you divide, you should get the number 208.33
25/.12 = 208.33
So, the original list price is $208.33
Hope you could understand.

Answer:
A) Length = 110.4 mm and width = 62.1 mm
B) A = 6855.84 mm²
C) length = 114.7 mm
width = 55.8 mm
Area = 6400.26 mm²
D) Screen with aspect ratio of 16:9 is bigger
Step-by-step explanation:
A) We are told that the aspect ratio of the phone screen = 16:9. This means that the ratio of the length to the width of the screen is 16:9.
To find the side length, we will say that;
length = 16x
width = 9x
Thus, since the edges are perpendicular, then we can use pythagoras theorem since we know that the diagonal is 127 mm
Thus;
(16x)² + (9x²)] = 127²
256x² + 81x² = 16129
337x² = 16129
x² = 16129/337
x = √(16129/337)
x = 6.9
Thus;
length = 16x = 16 × 6.9 = 110.4 mm
width = 9x = 9 × 6.9 = 62.1 mm
Length = 110.4 mm and width = 62.1 mm
B) area of screen is;
A = length × width
A = 110.4 × 62.1
A = 6855.84 mm²
C) We are told that the aspect ratio is now 18.5:9.
Thus;
length = 18.5x
width = 9x
Thus;
(18.5x)² + (9x²)] = 127²
342.25x² + 81x² = 16129
423.25x² = 16129
x² = 16129/423.25
x = √(16129/423.25)
x = 6.2
length = 18.5x = 18.5 × 6.2 = 114.7 mm
width = 9x = 9 × 6.2 = 55.8 mm
Area = 114.7 × 55.8 = 6400.26 mm²
D) Screen with aspect ratio of 16:9 is bigger
