Answer:it will take 200 kilometers for the costs to be the same.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of kilometers that Andrea would have to drive for the total cost of renting from both companies to be the same.
Action trucks charges $80 for the day plus $0.22 per kilometer. It means that the total cost of x miles would be
80 + 0.22x - - - - - - - - - 1
Truck experts charges $100 for the day plus $0.12 per kilometer. It means that the total cost of x miles would be
100 + 0.12x - - - - - - - - - 2
Therefore, for the cost of renting from both companies to be the same,
80 + 0.22x = 100 + 0.12x
0.22x - 0.12x = 100 - 80
0.1x = 20
x = 20/0.1 = 200
Styline menswear ordered short-sleeve shirts for $23 each and long-sleeve shirts for $28.50
short-sleeve shirts for $23
long-sleeve shirts for $28.50
Total cost = $9,862.50
Let x be the number of short - sleeve
and y be the number of long - sleeve
Total shirts = 375
x + y = 375
23x + 28.50y = 9862.50
Now we solve for x
x + y = 375 ( subtract x on both sides)
So y = 375 - x
Now plug in 375 -x for y in second equation
23x + 28.50y = 9862.50
23x + 28.50(375 - x ) = 9862.50
23x + 10687.5 - 28.50x = 9862.50
subtract 10687.5 from both sides
23x - 28.50x = -825
-5.5x = -825 (divide -5.5 on both sides)
x = 150
So number of short-sleeve = 150
The are would be 25
and we could make 3 squares. 75
5inches will be left over.
