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

The new TV screen is approximately 49.72 centimeters wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the width of the new TV screen, we need to calculate 13% of the old width and add it to the old width.

First, let's find 13% of 44 centimeters:

13% of 44 = 0.13 x 44 = 5.72 centimeters

Now, we add this to the old width:

New width = 44 + 5.72 = 49.72 centimeters

Therefore, the new TV screen is approximately 49.72 centimeters wide.

Answer 2

49.27

Step-by-step explanation:

`(x)/(44) = (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.
