Problema Solution
If the side of a square will increased by 150 percent, what is the corresponding increased in perimeter?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
x is the side of the square before increase
4x is the perimeter of the square before increase
1.5x is the side of the square after 150% increase
4*1.5x = 6x is the perimeter of the square after 150% increase of the side
We will find the increase in percentage by dividing the new perimeter with the old:
(6x)/(4x) = 6/4 = 1.5 or 150%
The corresponding perimeter will increase by 150%.
