Answer:

B. 1.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the amount of increase be 'x' ft.

Since, the length and width of the canvas are 4 ft and 3 ft respectively.

Thus, area of the canvas, A_{c} = length × breadth = 4 × 3 = 12 ft²

Since, the area of display model is twice the area of the canvas. We have,

A_{d} = 2 × A_{c}

i.e. A_{d} = 2 × 12

i.e. A_{d} = 24 ft².

As, the length and width of the canvas are increased  by 'x'.

The, length and width of the display model are (x+4) ft and (x+3) ft.

So, we get,

A_{c} = length × breadth = (x+4) × (x+3) = x^{2} +7x+12

Since, A_{d} = 24 ft²

i.e.  x^{2} +7x+12 = 24

i.e.  x^{2} +7x-12=0

Solving the quadratic equation, we get,

i.e. x = -8.4 and x= 1.4

Since, the value of x cannot be negative.

Thus, x = 1.4 feet.

If you are looking for the value of X i believe it is 21.6




Subtract .10 from both sides to get
.25X=5.40
Then divide both sides by .25

Your school is sponsoring a pancake dinner to raise money for a field trip. You estimate that 200 adults will attend. You are tr
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Some of the possible combinations are;

1) $19 per adult, $0 per child

2) $10 peer adult, $9 per child

3) $14 peer adult, $5 per child

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The estimated number of adults to attend the fund raising dinner = 200 adults

The amount the fund raiser is trying to realize = 3800

Therefore, some of the possible combinations are;

1) 3800/200 = 19 per adult to give;

$19 per adult, $0 per child

2) Given that each adult is charged $10, we have;

Total amount from adults = $10 × 200 = $2000

The total amount to be raised from the children = The amount the fund raiser is to realize - (Total amount from adults)

∴ The total amount to be raised from the children = 3800 - 2000 = 1800

The total amount to be raised from the children = $1,800

If there are 200 children we have;

The amount charged per child = (The total amount to be raised from the children)/(The total number of children)

The amount charged per child = $1,800/200 = $9 per child

Therefore, we have;

$10 peer adult, $9 per child

3) If each of the 200 children are charged $5 each, we have;

The total amount to be raised from the children = $5 × 200 = $1,000

∴ The amount to be raised from adults = $3800 - $1000 = $2800

The amount to each adult is to be charged = $2800/200 = $14

Therefore, we have;

$14 peer adult, $5 per child.
