P is a rectangle with a length 40 cm and width x cm
Q is a rectangle with width y cm
the length of Q is 25% more than the length of p
the area of Q is 10% less than the area of p
work out the ratio of x:y
give your answer in its simplest form
the length of Q is 25% more than length of P = 40 + 25% * 40 = 50 the area of Q is 10% less than the area of P = 40*x - 10% * 40*x = 36*x the area of Q = 50*y = 36*x x / y = 50 / 36 = 25 / 18 answer is 25 : 18
