Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Sean first thought that his hand was 20 cm so:

20cm

When he measures with a ruler, he gets 18 cm so:

18cm

The equation is really simple, and you basically do:

20/20 - 18/20 = 2/20 = 1/10 = 10%

The equation is:

1- x/y

x equals the new number

y equals the original number

First, let's find the bottom of the pan's area. 11 x 8 = 88 inches.
Next, we can find the sides. 11 x 3 x 2 = 66 inches for each long side. For the wide sides, 8 x 3 x 2 = 48 inches. These all added together equals 202 inches squared.

Answer: 1.) 14.66666666666667
2.) 20

Steps:
1.) 180 = 3x + 136
180 -136 = 3x
44 = 3x
44/3 = x
14.66666666666667 = x

2.) 70 + x = 90
x = 90 - 70
x = 20

I would appreciate brainliest if this was helpful and correct! ;)
