Answer:

The company decided to increase the price by $9.60, or by 48%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To measure the price difference in dollars is simple, just subtract the old price from the new one:

$29.60 - 20 = 9.60$

Divide the price change by the old price to find the price increase in percentage:

$9.60 \div 20 = 0.48 \\ 0.48 \times 100\% = 48\%$

Bob has to pack 192 boxes. This morning, he packed 84 boxes in 312 hours. If Bob continues at the same rate, how long will it ta

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

51.69 hours (see explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is simple once you break it down:

84 boxes in 312 hours is a rate, so it can be shown in fraction form:

84 boxes / 312 hours

Now to figure out how long it takes to unpack those 192 boxes, just multiply:

192 x 84/312

(192 x 84) / 312

16128 / 312

Now, just divide the numbers:

16128 ÷ 312 = 51.69 hours

Solve the following equation for x: 6x-16=14

Ivenika [448]

To solve the equation for x, first, we add 16 from both sides of the equation:

$\begin{gathered} 6x-16+16=14+16, \\ 6x=30. \end{gathered}$

Now, we divide by 6:

$\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{30}{6}.$

Finally, we get that:

$x=5.$

Answer:

$x=5.$

72 inches=___ yards please and thank you for your help

I am Lyosha [343]

We know that:

$1yd=36in\text{.}$

Then:

$1in=\frac{1}{36}yd\text{.}$

Therefore:

$72in=72\cdot(\frac{1}{36}yd)\text{.}$

Simplifying the above result we get:

$72\cdot\frac{1}{36}yd=2yd\text{.}$

Answer:

$72\text{inches}=2\text{yards.}$

Please help me find the total area of the composite figure below (geometry)

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

lw + $\frac{1}{2}$ × π × $(\frac{l}{2} )^{2}$ ⇒ Answer D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let us find the area of the semi-circle.

Area = $\frac{1}{2}$ × π × r²

Given that,

diameter of the semi-circle is ⇒ l

∴ radius ⇒ l / 2

Let us find it now.

Area = $\frac{1}{2}$ × π × r²

Area = $\frac{1}{2}$ × π × $(\frac{l}{2} )^{2}$

Secondly, let us find the area of the rectangle.

Area = length × width

Given that,

length ⇒ l

width ⇒ w

Let us find it now.

Area = length × width

Area = l ×w

Area = lw

And now let us find the total area.

Total area = Area of the rectangle + Area of the semi - circle

Tota area = lw + $\frac{1}{2}$ × π × $(\frac{l}{2} )^{2}$
