Here is a rectangle ABCD. 20 cm
30 cm
The length of the rectangle is increased by 20%.
The width of the rectangle is increased by 10%.
Find the percentage increase in the area of the rectangle.
12

32%

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle ABCD = 20 * 30 = 600 Sq cm

After increasing the length and width of the rectangle by 20% and 10% respectively.

New length = 30 + 20% of 30 = 30 + 6 = 36 cm

New width = 20 + 10% of 20 = 20 + 2 = 22 cm

Area of new rectangle = 36*22 = 792 Sq cm

Increase in area = 792 - 600 = 192 Sq cm

Percentage increase in area

= (192/600) *100

= 32%

answer: the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

step-by-step explanation:

the given rate of interest i= 85%

in calculating the monthly payment for a loan with an interest rate compounded monthly, the value of the interest rate per period we use in the formula must be in decimal form.

to convert it in decimal, we divide it by 100, we get

hence, the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.
