Riley has a farm on a rectangular piece of land that is 200200200 meters wide. This area is divided into two parts: A square are

a where she grows avocados (whose side is the same as the length of the farm), and the remaining area where she lives.
Every week, Riley spends \$3$3dollar sign, 3 per square meter on the area where she lives, and earns \$7$7dollar sign, 7 per square meter from the area where she grows avocados. That way, she manages to save some money every week.

Answer:

The inequality that models the situation for her to have money to save is

7L² > 3(200L - L²)

On simplifying and solving,

L > 60 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of her farm = L meters

The farm where she grows avocados is of square dimension

Area of the farm = L × L = L²

The piece of land is 200 m wide.

Total area of the piece of land = 200 × L = (200L) m²

If the area of her farm = L²

Area of the side where she lives will be

(Total area of the land) - (Area of the farm)

= (200L - L²)

= L(200 - L)

Every week, Riley spends $3 per square meter on the area where she lives, and earns $7 per square meter from the area where she grows avocados.

Total amount she earns from the side she grows the avocados = 7 × L² = 7L²

Total amount she spends on the side where she lives = 3 × (200L - L²) = 3(200L - L²)

For her to save money, the amount she earns must be greater than the amount she spends, hence the inequality had to be

(Amount she earns) > (Amount she spends)

7L² > 3(200L - L²)

To simplify,

7L² > 3L(200 - L)

Since L is always positive, we can divide both sides by L

7L > 3(200 - L)

7L > 600 - 3L

10L > 600

L > 60 meters

Hope this Helps!!!

Vinil7 [7]

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

We will only get a tornado if there is already a thunderstorm materializing

0.80 * 0.14 = 0.112

Probability of a tornado = 11.2%

There is a 100 - 14 = 86% chance of a tornado not being produced.

0.80 * 0.86 = 0.688

Probability of a storm and no tornado = 68.8%

Ivenika [448]
She spent $6.12 on the muffins for her and her friends, and she has $8.36 left on her gift card. By multiplying 6 by $1.02, you get the amount she spent, and by subtracting $14.48 by $6.12, I find how much she has left on her gift card.
