The right answer is Option B: $\frac{5500}{p}=\frac{55}{100}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Current value of car = $5500

This is 55% of the original value.

Let,

p be the original price of car.

Therefore,

55% of p = 5500

$\frac{55}{100}p=5500$

Dividing both sides by p

$\frac{55}{100}*\frac{p}{p}=\frac{5500}{p}\\\frac{55}{100}=\frac{5500}{p}$

The equation $\frac{5500}{p}=\frac{55}{100}$ can be used to find the price Mrs. Merson paid for the car.

The right answer is Option B: $\frac{5500}{p}=\frac{55}{100}$

A rectangle is 4 cm longer than it is wide, and its area is 117 cm2 . find its dimensions.

Brilliant_brown [7]

The area of a rectangle is equal L x W

4 cm longer than it is wide L = 4 + W

L x W = 117 we replace L here

(4 + W ) x W = 117

4W + W ^2 = 117

4W + W ^2 -117 = 0
W ^2 +4 W -117 = 0

W² + 4W - 117 = 0


THEN u want to use the use the quadratic formula

OR Factoring gives us

(W + 13)(W - 9) = 0

W = -13 or 9

But it can't be negative, so

W = 9 and L= 9+4 = 13
