Let x represent the side length of the squares.
We have been given that an open box is made from an 8 by ten-inch rectangular piece of cardboard by cutting squares from each corner and folding up the sides. We are asked to find the volume of the box.
The side of box will be 
and 
.
The height of the box will be 
.
The volume of box will be area of base times height.
Now we will use FOIL to simplify our expression.
Now we will distribute x.
Therefore, the volume of the box would be .
A is poor
B is good
C is marginal
Check the picture below.
the ladder is 26ft, the roof is 24ft above, so the ladderis 2ft longer than needed, if you move the ladder 10 feet away, will it give 24 or more? well, you know already.
The answer is A) 6:15, because if you divide both numbers by three, it'll give you 2:5
Answer:
$20,000
Step-by-step explanation:
You can quickly figure this by recognizing that the difference in commission must be the same as the base salary:
2.5%(car price) = $500
car price = $500/0.025 = $20,000
__
If you prefer, you can get there with equations.
At Job 1, the pay is ...
y = 10%×(car price)
At Job 2, the pay is ...
y = 7.5%×(car price)
Setting the equal (the two opportunities pay the same), we have ...
0.10(car price) = 500 +0.075(car price)
0.025(car price) = 500 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.075(car price)
car price = 500/0.025 = 20,000 . . . . divide by 0.025
Jim would have to sell a $20,000 car each week for the jobs to pay the same.
