The width of the rectangle is 24in the length of the rectagle is 75% of its length, the length of the rectangle is doubled. What percent of the length is the width now?

Respuesta :

Answer:

So, now the length is 150% of the width of the rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the width of the rectangle is 24 in the length of the rectangle is 75% of its length.  

We calculate the length of the rectangle. We have the following proportion:

[tex]24:100\%=x:75\%\\\\100x=24\cdot 75\\\\100x=1800\\\\x=18\\[/tex]

So the length of the rectangle is 18.

If the length of the rectangle is doubled, it will be 36. We have the following proportion:

[tex]24:100\%=36:x\%\\\\24x=3600\\\\x=150\%[/tex]

So, now the length is 150% of the width of the rectangle.
