If the length of a rectangle is increased by 33.33% and its breath is decreased by 45%, then find the percentage of change in its area.

26.66% decrease

+33.33% = \(\frac{1}{3}\)

-45% = \(\frac{9}{20}\)

change in length =   3-----------4

change in width=     20---------11

                    —————————————

Total effect:            60--------44

change in area = \(\frac{16}{60}\) × 100 = 26.66% decrease
