Check the picture below.
so we really have 2 equal triangles with 3 rectangles, so let's get the area of each and sum them up.
![\stackrel{\textit{two equal triangles}}{2\left[ \cfrac{1}{2}(8)(6) \right]}~~+~~\stackrel{back}{(6\cdot 4)}~~ +~~\stackrel{bottom}{(8\cdot 4)}~~+~~\stackrel{top}{(10\cdot 4)}\implies 144](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Btwo%20equal%20triangles%7D%7D%7B2%5Cleft%5B%20%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%288%29%286%29%20%5Cright%5D%7D~~%2B~~%5Cstackrel%7Bback%7D%7B%286%5Ccdot%204%29%7D~~%20%2B~~%5Cstackrel%7Bbottom%7D%7B%288%5Ccdot%204%29%7D~~%2B~~%5Cstackrel%7Btop%7D%7B%2810%5Ccdot%204%29%7D%5Cimplies%20144)
The answer is .05176470588 or 0.052 (rounded answer).
Answer:
Loss of $24,105
Step-by-step explanation:
Chen owns a record shop. Last year he sold $97,215 worth of merchandise. His costs were $73,110. we are asked to determine how much profit did he make?
Profit = current sale - previous year sales
current sale = $73,110
previous year sales =$97,215
as previous year sales is greater than current sales, there is a loss
Loss = previous year sales - current sale
Loss =$97,215
-$73,110
=$24,105
