Thank you very much. I have one more question: The area of the heart is 20cm^2. If this is 72% of the area of the square, what is the area of the square?
What do you mean by the area of the heart?
Nevermind.......its okay
The question is: The area of the heart (it's a picture of a heart inside a square) is 20cm^2. If this is 72% of the area of the square, what is the area of the square?
answer is 28.5 cm^2
To find out the current value of the stamp, we need to calculate 160% of its value three years ago.
Step 1: Calculate the value three years ago
If the stamp was worth $220 three years ago, we already have this information.
Step 2: Calculate 160% of its value
To calculate 160% of a value, we multiply it by 1.6 (since 160% is equivalent to 1.6).
So, 1.6 * $220 = $352
Therefore, the stamp is worth $352 today.
