Answer:

C = 495 + 13.05x

60 tiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

$15.00 per tile plus a flat fee of $378.00 that charges Tile All.

Therefore, for x number of tiles, the total cost of installation will be  

C = 378 + 15x ........... (1)

Again, $14.50 per tiles plus a flat fee of $550.00 that charges Kitchen Plus. Amanda has at Kitchen Plus, a 10% discount coupon.

Therefore, for x tiles installation the charges will be  

C = (550 + 14.5x)(1 - \frac{10}{100}) = 495 + 13.05x .......... (2) (Answer)

Now, if for x number of tiles both the company charges the same, then  

378 + 15x = 495 + 13.05x (From equations (1) and (2)}

⇒ 1.95x = 117

⇒ x = 60 tiles. (Answer)

Set up and solve the following using dimensional analysis.
Softa [21]
1).  Multiply (5400 inches) by (1 foot / 12 inch) then by (1 mile / 5280 foot).

      (See explanation at the bottom)

         =      (5400 inch) x (1 foot / 12 inch) x (1 mile / 5280 foot)

         =      (5400 x 1 x 1 / 12 x 5280)  (inch - foot - mile / inch - foot) 

         =          0.0852  mile  


2).  Multiply (16 week) by (7 day/week) then by (24 hour/day)
       then by (60 minute/hour) then by (60 sec/minute).

3).  Multiply (54 yards) by (3 foot/yard) then by (1 meter/3.28 foot)
       and then by (1000 mm/meter)

4).  Multiply (36 cm/second) by (3600 second/hour) then by (1 meter/100 cm)
      then by (1 mile/1609.3 meter).

5).  Look up how many grams in a pound  ('P')
       Look up how many mL in a gallon       ('G')

      Multiply (1.09 g/mL) by ( 1 pound/ P gram) then by (1 gallon/ G mL)

6).  Multiply (32 foot/sec) by (1 meter / 3.28 foot) then by (60 sec/minute).


Each time I told you to multiply by something, it was always a fraction
where the numerator and denominator are equal, like (60 seconds/minute)
or (1 foot / 12 inch).  Since the top and bottom of the fraction are equal, the
value of the fraction is ' 1 ' , and multiplying by it doesn't change the value,
it only changes the units ... that's what this whole exercise is about.
When you multiply, KEEP the units in the product, and then, after you multiply, you can 'cancel' units out of the top and bottom of the product.
Like if you have 'feet' on top and bottom, just cross them out.  When you're done, if you did it correctly, the last unit you end up with will be the one you want.

How much greater is the area of a square with a side length of 9 inches than the area of a circle with a radius of 3 inches?
fredd [130]
The area of the square is 81 sq in, and the area of the circule is (3.14)(3 in)^2, or approx 3.14(9) sq in, or approx  28.27 sq in.

Subtract:  81 sq in - 28.27 sq in = approx. 52.73 sq in.

The difference is 52.73 sq in; the square is larger, the circle smaller.
