A rectangle has a length of 12 mm and a width of 15 mm. A new rectangle was created by multiplying all of the dimensions by a scale factor of 1/3 Which statement best describes the change in the perimeter of the new rectangle? The new perimeter will be One-half times the perimeter of the original rectangle. The new perimeter will be One-third times the perimeter of the original rectangle. The new perimeter will be 2 times the perimeter of the original rectangle. The new perimeter will be 3 times the perimeter of the original rectangle.

the new perimeter will be 1/3 time the perimeter of the original rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

i had a similar work too, kindly contact professor james. so far he has handled 2 online tests and a paper for me. i attained 100% in both tests and 97% on the paper. kindly let him know that i referred you, i’m johnson.

step-by-step explanation:

30% of $420 is 0.30($420) = $126 and $420 + $126 = $546.

or, 130% of $420 is 1.3($420) = $546.

notice that this is not the $600 original list price with which we started.

why doesn't this work?

the method does not work because 30% of $420 is not the same amount as the 30% of $600. it may seem obvious when stated this way, but it is a very common error made on problems of this type. we cannot just use the same percent and get back to the original amount because we are taking that percent of a different value.

to work problems of this type correctly, it is generally best to write an equation for the situation and then solve.

example: since (100% – 30%)(original price) = (sale price)

70% of the   (original price) is $420.

0.7x   = 420

x = 600

the original cost was $600.

we may also solve this problem using the two-step method. working the problem in two steps requires us to use more algebra skills. we have to know that x = 1x (identity property of multiplicationtext annotation indicator) and that 1x – 0.3x = 0.7x (subtracting like terms). then we solve the problem as follows:

(original price) – 30%(original price) = sale price

x – 0.3x = 420

0.7x = $420

x = 600

the original cost was $600.  

note that with both of the above methods we do obtain the correct original amount.

example: after a 5% pay raise, hermione is earning $22,680 per year. what was she earning before the pay raise?

105% of (original salary) = current salary

1.05x = 22,680

equation image indicator

x = 21,600

hermione earned $21,600 per year before the pay raise.

this is an example so maybe you will get how to at least do it!
