Question

an older tv screen was 44 centimeters wide. the newer model increased the screen size by 13 percent. how wide is the new tv screen?

Answer 1

Answer:

49.27

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{44} = \frac{113}{100}$ - this is what you're going to set up. 113 is 100%+13%, which is what you need to solve the question, since we have 44 set up as our base size (and equal to 100%). Cross multiply so you are left with 100x=4927, then solve for X, and you get our answer of 49.27. Round accordingly.
