Hi there! So the the new price is $93, and went up from $55. Let's subtract the numbers. 93 - 55 is 38. The change is 38. To find the percent markup, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:

38/55 = x/100

This is because the amount of change goes above the original (55), and x represents the percent out of 100. We are looking for the markup. Let's cross multiply the values. 100 * 38 is 3,800. 55 * x is 55x. 3,800 = 55x. Now, divide each side by 55 to isolate the x. 55x/55 cancels out. 3,800/55 is 69.0909 or 69 when rounded to the nearest whole number. There. The percent of markup is approx. 69%.

What is the area of the figure?

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

5.4 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Figuring out the area of shapes like these are quite simple, you first have to break apart this shape to make solving this easier. If you draw a line and break off the triangle from the square you will get 2 different shapes. A square with all the sides being 2 inches, and a triangle that is 2 inches tall and 1.4 inches across (you subtract 3.4 by 2). Next you just use the equation (2 * 2) + ((1.4 * 2)/2). Multiply 2 by 2 (which is 4) and you get the area of the square (you multiply the base by the width). And for the triangle you multiple 1.4 by 2 (you get 2.8)... But because it's a triangle you have to divide that number by 2 since the triangle is half of a square. So 2.8 / 2 is going to be 1.4. After that you now have the equation 4 + 1.4 and the answer is going to be 5.4.
