The merchandise shop sells 80 CDs for every 1 vinyl record. We have to find how many vinyl records they are likely to sell if the merchandise shop sells 760 CDs:
80 CDs -------------------- 1 vinyl record
760 CDs --------------------- x vinyl records
---------------------------------------------------------
80 : 760 = 1 : x
80 x = 760
x = 760 : 80
x = 9.5 or 9 ( we need a whole number )
Answer: They are likely to sell 9 vinyl records.
X = measure of each of the legs
"perimeter is 8 more than 2 times one of the legs" ---> P = 2x+8
P = 28 is the given perimeter
So,
P = 2x+8
28 = 2x+8
2x+8 = 28
2x = 20
x = 10
If x = 10, then the two legs add up to x+x = 10+10 = 20
Leaving P-20 = 28-20 = 8 inches left over for the base
You have the correct answer (choice D, 8 inches) though your steps are a bit confusing at some parts. Such as the part where you wrote 2x = 10 twice. I think I know what you were trying to say.
