The total number of seats in a movie theater is calculated by adding the area of the upper section given by 8x2 and the area of
the lower section given by 6x2. The theater plans to add an addition of front row seats given by 4x for a total of 138 seats. Which equation could be used to solve for the number of seats in the front row addition?
14x^2+4x=138 since the number of seats in the from row is just 4x, subtract 14x^2 from both sides
4x=138-14x^2 that would be the general solution, if you wanted the actual number you would have to solve for x and then multiply that value by 4 to know what "4x" is...
We are given a cost of 75 dollars and are being asked to find the total cost after adding a tip, tax, and disc to the cost. To find this answer we will use the formula to calculate percentages making sure we use 75 as our base for each addition to our total cost.
<u>Formula to calculate percentages:</u>
<u>First the disc:</u>
<u>Next the tax:</u>
<u>Last but not least the tip:</u>
<u>Finally add:</u>
The total cost after adding the disc, tax, and the tip will be "$102.75."
