Answer:
$222.73


Explanation:
The multiplier would be 1.1 as (100% plus 10% as a decimal) and $245 is 110% and we want 100%. So 245 divided by 110 is 2.227 which would be 1%. But we want 100% so 2.227 x 100 is $222.73 (1 decimal place).

Answer:  $222.73

===========================================

Work Shown:

x = pre-GST price

10% of x = 0.10x = tax amount

x + 0.10x = 1.10x = post-GST price = 245

1.10x = 245

x = 245/1.10

x = 222.7272 approximately

x = 222.73 is the price before tax.

------------

Check:

10% of 222.73 = 0.10*222.73 = 22.273 = 22.27

The tax amount ($22.27) is added to the pre-GST price to get

22.27+222.73 = 245

which matches the post-GST price mentioned.

The answer is confirmed.

Or another way to confirm the answer is to calculate this

1.10*222.73 = 245.003 = 245

I think this is correct because 4 x 5 = 20 x 5 = 100 and 100 x 5 = 500

500 + 280 = ????

4 is less than 7 and 24 is less than 35 so they make proportions.

7.50 is more than 3 and 5 is more than 2 so they do not make proportions.

What is the area, in square yards, of the polygon shown?
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:46


Step-by-step explanation:Regular polygons are shapes made of straight lines with certain relationships among their lengths. For instance, a square has 4 sides, all the same length. A regular pentagon has 5 sides, all the same length. For these shapes, there are formulas for finding the area. But for irregular polygons, which are made of straight lines of any length, there are no formulas, and you need to be a little creative to find the area. Fortunately, any polygon may be divided into triangles, and there is a simple formula for the area of triangles.


Label the vertices (points) of the polygon starting with 1 at an arbitrary vertex and continuing clockwise around the polygon. There should be as many vertices as there are sides. E.g. for a pentagon (five sides) there will be five vertices.


Draw a line from vertex 1 to vertex 3. This will make one triangle, with vertices 1, 2, and 3. If there are only 4 sides, it will also make a triangle with vertices 1, 3 and 4.If the polygon has more than 4 sides, draw a line from vertex 3 to vertex 5. Continue in this way until you run out of vertices.


Compute the area of each triangle. The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 * b * h, where b is the base and h is the height.


Add up the areas, and this is the area of the polygon.
