Miran and Hanna were asked by their teachers to increase 70 by 150%. Miran says the answer is 105 because 50%of 70 is 35 and 70+35=105. Hanna says the answer is 175 because 150% of 70 is 105 and 70+105=175. Who is correct

Hanna

Step-by-step explanation:

When you find out the % of a number you turn the percentage into a decimal.

150%=1.5

Then you multiply by your original number.

70 x 1.5 = 105

Finally you add that to your original number.

105 + 70 = 175

Since Hanna said increasing 70 by 150% is 175, she is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
