If 10% of a number is 36 and 55% of the same number is 198, find 45% of that number.

9514 1404 393

  162

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many ways to work this. Perhaps the simplest is to recognize that 45% of the number is the difference between 55% of it and 10% of it.

  0.55n -0.10n = 0.45n

  198 -36 = 0.45n = 162

45% of the number is 162.

If you like, you can find the number as ...

  0.10n = 36

  n = 36/0.10 = 360

Then you can verify (if you like), that 55% of it is 198:

  0.55(360) = 198 . . . . true

Finally, you can figure 45% of it:

  0.45(360) = 162

__

Using proportions, you can determine the number to be ...

  36/0.10 = n/0.45

  n = 0.45(36/0.10) = 4.5(36) = 162

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.
