QveST [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The original price of socks was $8.

Step-by-step explanation:

James buys a shirt and a pair of socks on sale for 25% off.

The price of the shirt before the sale was $24 that means after discount the price was:

24-(0.25\times24) = $18

And James paid a total of $24.

That means the price of socks after discount is = 24-18 = $6

Let the original price of socks be x. And after 25% discount, it was for $6.

So, x-0.25x=6

=> 0.75x=6

x = 8.

Hence, the original price of socks was $8.

A library contains 2000 books. There are 3 times as man non fiction books. Write and solve a systems of equations to determine t
icang [17]

Answer:

The number of fiction books is <u>500</u> and non fiction books is <u>1500</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total book library contains = 2000.

There are 3 times as many non fiction books as fiction books.

Now, to determine the number of non fiction books and fiction books.

Let the fiction books be x.

And the non fiction books be 3x.

Total books = 2000.

Now, to get the number of non fiction books and fiction books we put an equation:

3x+x=2000.

4x=2000.

Dividing both sides by 4 we get:

x=500.

Fiction books = 500.

Non fiction books = 3x=3\times 500=1500.

Therefore, the number of fiction books is 500 and non fiction books is 1500.

Mr jones is planning to pant grass and place afence in a small area for his dog. The rectagular dimension are 12×15 feet. The gr
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

A) The total feet needed for the fence total perimeter is 54 feet

B) The total cost of fence is $432

C) The square feet of grass needed foe the total area is 180 square feet

D) The total cost of the project is $572

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The dimension of rectangular field

Length of rectangular field = L = 12 feet

width of rectangular field = w = 15 feet

The cost of grass per square foot = 50 cents = $0.5    ( ∵ 1 cents = $0.01 )

The cost of small fence = $8 per linear foot

Now, According to question

A ) Let The total feet needed for the fence total perimeter = A feet

∵ Perimeter of rectangular field = 2 × Length + 2 × width

Or, A = 2 × L + 2 × w

Or, A = 2 × 12 feet + 2 × 15 feet

Or, A = 24 feet + 30 feet

∴ A = 54 feet

So, The total feet needed for the fence total perimeter = A = 54 feet

B ) Let The total cost of fence = $B

So, The total cost of fence = The cost of small fence × perimeter of fence

i.e B = $8 × 54 feet

∴ B = $432

So,The total cost of fence = B = $432

C) Let the square feet of grass needed foe the total area = C square feet

∵The Area of rectangular fence = Length × width

Or, The square feet of grass needed foe the total area = Area of rectangular fence = L × w

i.e C = 12 feet × 15 feet

Or, C = 180 feet²

So,The square feet of grass needed foe the total area = C = 180 square feet

D) Let The total cost of grass = $D

∵ The cost of grass per square foot = $0.5

So,Total cost of grass = $0.5 × Area of fence

i.e D = $0.5 ×  180 feet²

Or, D = $90

So, The Total cost of grass = D = $90

E) Let the total cost of the project = $E

∵Mr. Jones spend additional $50 for tools

So, The total cost of the project =  money spent on tools + total cost of fence + Total cost of grass

i.e E = $50 + B + D

Or, E = $50 + $432 + $90

∴ E = $572

So, The total cost of the project = E = $572

Hence,

A) The total feet needed for the fence total perimeter is 54 feet

B) The total cost of fence is $432

C) The square feet of grass needed foe the total area is 180 square feet

D) The total cost of the project is $572  Answer

the area of a gymnasium floor is 264 square yard. the floor is 11 yards wide . how long is the floor?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
Area = Length x Width (A = L x W)

A = 264, W = 11, L = ?

Rewrite the equation to find L. In order to reverse multiplication, you must divide.

L = A / W

L = 264 / 11 = 24 yards
