Let p represent # of physics texts sold

Let m represent # of maths texts sold

Therefore we have p = m - 60 | because physics texts sold are less than maths by 60

Total sold = 206 = m + p | recall that p = m - 60

We then have 206 = m + m - 60

206 = 2m - 60 | adding 60 to both sides, we have

206 + 60 = 2m | dividing both sides by 2

266/2 = 2m/2

Therefore, m = 133 texts

and p = m - 60 = 133 - 60 = 193

The perimeter of a rectangle can be found using the equation P = 2L + 2W, where P is the perimeter, L is the length, and W is th
Naddik [55]

Answer:

D)Yes. The rectangle can have P = 60 and L = 18 because P = 2(18) + 2(12) would equal 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P=2L+2W.

If the width is W=12\:units and the length is L=18\:units, then the perimeter becomes:

 P=2\times 12+2\times 18.

 \implies P=24+36.

 \implies P=60.

Therefore the answer is

D)Yes. The rectangle can have P = 60 and L = 18 because P = 2(18) + 2(12) would equal 60

german

yes sure, i learned this before so

1. a. make a proportion here, of percentage. \frac{225}{250} =\frac{x}{100} if you cross multiply and divide you get 90%.

1. b. obviously the empty seats would be 10%.

2. a. proportion again, \frac{0.90}{6.00} =\frac{x}{100} cross multiply then divide you ge 15%

3. 30% in decimal form is 0.3. multiply it then to the total amount, so 0.3 x 15 = 4.5
