Simple percent question My question says that line segment DC is 50% longer than line segment BD, and BD is 40 ft. Does that mean DC is 60 ft or 80? Please explain, brainliest to whoever explains it properly and quickly

60ft

Step-by-step explanation:

DC is 50% longer than BD (given)

BD is 40ft (given)

DC is 50% longer than BD this means that DC= BD+50% of  BD

40ft +50/100 * 40

=40ft +20ft

=60ft

Another way to solve this could be DC is 150%of BD as BD =40ft=100% of it's length.

So, 150/100 *40

=60ft

Hope this helps.
