Answer:

<u>The width is 1.67 or 1 2/3 feet approximately</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the dog pen = 14 1/5  = 14.2 square feet

Length of the pen = 8 1/2 = 8.5 feet

Width of the pen = x

Let's recall that the formula of the area of a rectangle is:

Area = Length * Width

Replacing with the values we know:

14 1/5 = 8 1/2 * Width

14.2 = 8.5 * Width

Width = 14.2/8.5

Width = 1.67 feet (rounding to the next hundredth)

1.67 ≅ 1 2/3

<u>The width is 1.67 or 1 2/3 feet approximately</u>

When you buy an item on which sales tax is charged,the total cost is calculated by the formula T=P+s/100p where T is the total c
Gennadij [26K]

Given:

The formula for total cost is

T=p+\dfrac{s}{100}p

where, p is the price of item and s is the sales tax rate (as a percent).

You pay $14.77 for an item priced at $14.

To find:

The the tax rate.

Solution:

You pay $14.77 for an item priced at $14. So,

Total cost (T) = $14.77

Price of item (p) = $14

Putting T=14.77 and p=14 in given formula, we get

14.77=14+\dfrac{s}{100}(14)

14.77-14=\dfrac{s}{100}(14)

0.77=\dfrac{s}{100}(14)

Multiply both sides by 100.

77=14s

Divide both sides by 14.

\dfrac{77}{14}=s

5.5=s

Therefore, the tax rate is 5.5%.
