The first option, b/c the A.I of -5 would be +5, therefore 18--5, which is 18+5, would be 23.

DiKsa [7]

Answer: d. $852.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The net pay = $667.17

Since net pay is the amount of money your employees take home after all deductions have been taken out.

We know that gross pay is the amount of money that employees receive before any taxes and deductions are taken out.

Thus to find the gross pay, we need to add all of the deductions to the net pay as:

Gross pay $=667.17+98+52.88+12.37+22.54 =\$852.96$

Hence, D is the right option.

A rectangular parking lot must have a perimeter of 440 feet and an area of at least 8000 square feet. Describe the possible leng

tangare [24]

Answer:

The possible parking lengths are 45.96 feet and 174.031 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length of rectangular plot and y be the breadth of rectangular plot

A rectangular parking lot must have a perimeter of 440 feet

Perimeter of rectangular plot =2(l+b)=2(x+y)=440

2(x+y)=440

x+y=220

y=220-x

We are also given that an area of at least 8000 square feet.

So, $xy \leq 8000$

So, $x(220-x) \leq 8000$

$220x-x^2 \leq 8000$

So, $220x-x^2 = 8000\\-x^2+220x-8000=0$

General quadratic equation : $ax^2+bx+c=0$

Formula : $x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\frac{-220 \pm \sqrt{220^2-4(-1)(-8000)}}{2(-1)}\\x=\frac{-220 + \sqrt{220^2-4(-1)(-8000)}}{2(-1)} , \frac{-220 - \sqrt{220^2-4(-1)(-8000)}}{2(-1)}\\x=45.96,174.031$

So, The possible parking lengths are 45.96 feet and 174.031 feet
